Description
In this presentation I will unveil our initial findings on $D$-meson / light-meson femtoscopy. Our analysis employs unitarized effective hadron interactions derived from an off-shell $T$-matrix calculation in a coupled-channel framework. We have obtained the correlation function of heavy-light mesons accounting for Coulomb interaction in the relevant channels, and have analyzed the impact of inelastic processes. I will present a set of results that can be directly compared with experimental data from the ALICE experiment. These involve net strangeness like $D^+K^+$ (+ charge conjugate) and $D^+K^-$ (+ charge conjugate) and zero strangeness like $D^+\pi^+$ (+ charge conjugate) and $D^+\pi^-$ (+ charge conjugate). Additionally, our study encompasses predictions involving novel channels involving $D_s$ mesons. Our original research contributes to a deeper understanding of heavy meson-light meson interactions via femtoscopy measurements.
