Description

Multiplicity-dependent yield ratios of light-flavour particles, such as p and strange hadrons relative to $\pi$, provide key insights into hadron production mechanisms and strangeness enhancement across collision systems. Observable like (multi-)strange to non-strange ratios show a smooth transition from small to large systems, shedding light on collective behaviour and production dynamics. Leveraging the high-luminosity data from LHC Run 3 and the advanced O$^2$ (online-offline) framework, the ALICE experiment enables precise measurements of these phenomena in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13.6$ TeV. This work presents the results on particle yield ratios as functions of charged-particle multiplicity ($\textrm{d}\it{N}_\textrm{ch}/\textrm{d}\eta$) are compared to state-of-the-art QCD-inspired models to understand further the microscopic origins of observed phenomena such as strangeness enhancement and collective behaviour in hadronic collisions.
