Light nuclei, such as deuteron and triton, are loosely bound objects. Their yields are expected to be sensitive to baryon density fluctuations and can be used to probe the QCD critical point and the signatures of a first-order phase transition in heavy-ion collisions. In 2018, RHIC started the second phase of the beam energy scan program (BES-II). The STAR Fixed Target (FXT) program was...
The polarization properties of $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Lambda}$ have received increasing attention over the last years due to the possibility to
link this observable to the properties of the medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. For semi-central collisions, the matter density profile in the transverse plane develops an angular momentum, which can be quantified in terms of...
The pre-equilibrium stage of quark-gluon plasma remains one of the major sources of uncertainty in studies of heavy ion collisions, which became a prominent research problem in heavy ion community. Major efforts regarding this problem are made in low-$p_\perp$ sector. We here instead propose [1] to utilize high-$p_{\perp}$ particles energy loss, as a complementary tool, to elucidate these...
The comparison of experimental data and theoretical predictions is crucial for our understanding of the mechanisms for interactions and particle production in hadron collisions, both at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). In order to help with that task, several tools were created. The Rivet (Robust Independent Validation of Experiment and Theory)...
The ALICE experiment at the LHC is designed to study the hot and dense medium produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Light-flavour hadrons, such as pions, kaons, protons, strange hadrons, resonances and (hyper)nuclei are optimal probes to characterise the bulk properties of the medium. This is achieved by studying particle hadro-chemistry, with a focus on strangeness production,...
