Interesting features in the production of strange hadrons have been revealed in heavy-ion collisions. Observations include: the development, with centrality, of a peak in the $\Lambda/K^0_S$ ratio at intermediate $p_{\rm T}$; and the enhanced yield of strange and multi-strange baryons, compared to minimum bias pp collisions. These features have been further investigated by studying pp...
The LHCb collaboration has recently measured cross sections for the simultaneous production of two charmed-particles in p-p [1] and p-Pb [2] collisions. These include opposite-sign and same-sign D-meson pairs offering, for the first time, a chance to study the interplay of single-parton (SPS) and double-parton scattering (DPS) across different collision systems.
In this talk, we discuss our...
Using the ALICE Zero Degree Calorimeters (ZDC) it is possible to study the very forward charged and neutral energy in pp and p-Pb collisions. By correlating these measurements with the midrapidity particle production, one obtains new direct insights into the initial stages of the collisions. New results on the energy detected in neutron and proton ALICE ZDC in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13...
