Description
In heavy ion collisions, strangeness enhancement had been proposed as a
signature of the QGP formation. Surprisingly, more recent observations have
shown an enhanced production of (multi-)strange hadrons in high-multiplicity pp
and p-Pb collisions at the LHC. The multiplicity dependence of strangeness
production measured with the ALICE experiment will be discussed in pp, p-Pb,
Xe-Xe and Pb-Pb collisions in order to highlight similarities across different
colliding systems. Data will also be compared to models such as PYTHIA,
DIPSY, EPOS and statistical hadronization models.
