Description
Strange hadrons offer a distinctive way to examine hadronization. Initially, the increase of the yield ratio of strange hadrons to non-strange hadrons in heavy ion collisions relative to pp collisions was the proposed signature of the quark-gluon plasma formation. The study of strangeness production from small to large collision systems is fundamental to understanding the origin of the strangeness enhancement phenomenon and constrain the particle production models. This line of research widen after the groundbreaking discovery by the ALICE Collaboration, which demonstrated that the production of strange hadrons increases alongside the density of charged particles, irrespective of the collision system or the center of mass energy. Moreover, it was observed that in small collision systems the transverse momentum spectra are influenced by partonic collectivity, even when only few particles are produced at mid-rapidity. In this contribution, a comprehensive overview of the most recent findings on the production of strange hadrons at the LHC is presented. Special emphasis will be placed on discussing the current and future prospects of this field in light of the data collection campaign during LHC Run 3.
