2 MOTIVATION TO MEASURE (ANTI-)YPERNUCLEI IN Pb-Pb COLLISIONS WIT ALICE AT TE LC ALICE aims to study the formation of Quark-Gluon Plasma, its properties and evolution: (anti-)(hyper)nuclei yields are sensitive to the freeze-out temperature due to their large mass (e.g. in the Thermal Model yield scales roughly e (-M/Tchem) ) light (anti-)(hyper)nuclei, small binding energy and small separation energy, e.g. B ( =.1 ±.5 MeV) [. Bando et al., Int. J. Mod. Phys. A (199)] : light (anti-)(hyper)nuclei should dissociate in a medium with high T chem (~156 MeV) and be suppressed light (anti-)(hyper)nuclei production determined by the entropy per baryon (fixed at chemical freeze-out) if light (anti-)(hyper)nuclei yields equal to thermal model prediction sign for adiabatic (isentropic) expansion in the hadronic phase A= (anti-)( e, t, ), a simple system of 9 valence quarks: / e and / t (and anti) Lambda-nucleon correlation (local baryon-strangeness correlation) t / e (and anti) local charge-baryon correlation YN & YY interaction (strangeness sector of hadronic EOS, cosmology, physics of neutron stars) Anti-nuclei in nature: matter antimatter asymmetry [J.~Adam et al. (ALICE Collaboration), Nature Phys. (215)] (see Colocci talk) ALICE EXA217: International Conference on Exotic Atoms and Related Topics Stefano Piano 2
3 (ANTI-)(YPER)NUCLEI PRODUCTION IN URIC Statistical Thermal model Coalescence Thermodynamic approach to particle production in heavy-ion collisions Abundances fixed at chemical freeze-out (T chem ) (hyper)nuclei are very sensitive to T chem because of their large mass (M) If baryons at freeze-out are close enough in Phase Space an (anti-)(hyper)nucleus can be formed (yper)nuclei are formed by protons () and neutrons which have similar velocities after the freeze-out Exponential dependence of the yield e (-M/Tchem) A.

25 CONCLUSIONS Excellent ALICE performance allows for detection of light (anti-)nuclei and (anti-)hypernuclei Blast-Wave fits can be used to extrapolate the yields to the unmeasured p T region of light hypernuclei in Pb-Pb. ypertriton yield is in agreement with the current best thermal fit from equilibrium thermal model (T chem = 156 ± 2 MeV) The excellent determination of primary and decay vertices allows for the measurement of lifetime via exponential fit of the proper decay time distribution Re-evaluation of the hypertrion lifetime world average ALICE preliminary result from Pb-Pb at 5.2 TeV is closer to the free Future LC runs, RUN2 and RUN, and ALICE upgrades will allow for precise study of (anti)hypertriton production yield and lifetime ALICE EXA217: International Conference on Exotic Atoms and Related Topics Stefano Piano 25
