Description
At the Large Hadron Collider light (anti-)nuclei are significantly produced in proton-proton
(pp), proton-lead (p-Pb) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions.
The production mechanism of light (anti-)nuclei is an open question in high energy
physics. The measurement of the production spectra and yields allows to improve our
understanding of the late stages in the evolution of high energy collisions. The ALICE
detector, thanks to its outstanding particle identification (PID) capabilities, provides the
optimal conditions for the identification of rarely produced particles, such as light nuclei.
The measurement of (anti-)deuteron production in pp collisions at 5 TeV as a function of
the multiplicity is presented and compared to the measurements available in other collision
systems and at different energies. A detailed discussion of the result together with a
comparison to the model predictions will be reported.
