Description
Femtoscopy has been a crucial element of the physics programme at the
LHC in Run1 and Run2. Identical meson measurements have shown that we
understand in detail various aspects of the collision dynamics in
heavy ion collisions. In contrast, detailed results in pp collision
still await proper explanation. Similarly non-identical particle
femtoscopy results turned out to be sensitive to the duration of the
hadronic rescattering phase, giving and independent cross-check of the
system evolution description.
In parallel femtoscopic measurements for baryons, especially ones
including strangeness, as well as antibatyons provide a qualitatively
new way to access parameters of the strong interaction between exotic
and regular nuclear matter. These appear to be especially important in
modelling of neutron star composition and mergers. This study stands
to benefit a lot from significantly extended data collection
capabilities in LHC Run3.
