Description
Thanks to its excellent tracking performance and Particle Identification
capabilities, the ALICE detector allows for the identification of light
(anti-) (hyper-) nuclei and for the measurement of (multi-) strange particles
over a wide range of transverse momentum.
Deuterons, tritons, $\rm ^{3}{He}$ and $\rm ^{4}{He}$ and their corresponding
antinuclei are identified via their specific energy loss in the
Time Projection Chamber and the velocity measurement provided
by the Time-Of-Flight detector.
Strange and multi-strange baryons and mesons as well as (anti-) hypertritons are
reconstructed via their topological decays.
Detailed measurements of (multi-) strange hadron production in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb
collision and of light (anti-) nuclei and (anti-) hypertritons in Pb-Pb collisions
with ALICE at the LHC will be presented.
The experimental results will be compared with the predictions of both
statistical hadronization and coalescence models.
