The electromagnetic fields surrounding the protons and nuclei, accelerated by the LHC, lead to very large cross sections for photon-induced processes. This makes the LHC the world's most powerful collider not only for protons and lead ions but also for photon-photon and photon-hadron collisions. These interactions can be studied in ultra-peripheral collisions, where the impact parameters are...

The production of light nuclei, hypernuclei and their antiparticles in relativistic energy heavy ion collisions are explored within a relativistic Hagedorn Resonance Gas (HRG) model. In the HRG model the unknown heavy-mass resonance spectra is characterized by an exponentially growing Hagedorn states that undergo sequential binary emission of lighter resonances and stable hadrons till all the...

In high-energy heavy-ion collisions hyperon-baryon bound systems, called hypernuclei, can emerge from the hot and dense fireball region of the reaction. Their production yield can be estimated employing two distinct models: they can be formed via the coalescence of nucleons and hyperons produced in the collision or they can be produced directly in the hadronisation process. The study of the...

77. Search for exotic hyper-matter and measurement of nuclei with ALICE at the LHC

The high collision energies reached at the LHC lead to significant production yields of light anti-nuclei and hyper-matter in proton-proton and, in particular, Pb-Pb collisions. The excellent particle identification capabilities of the ALICE apparatus, based on the specific energy loss in the Time Projection Chamber and time-of-flight measurement, allow for the detection of these rarely...
