Abstract: Strange quark and particle production is studied at the LHC with unprecedented high beam energies in both heavy-ion and proton-proton collisions: on the one hand, strangeness is used for investigating chemical equilibration and bulk properties; on the other hand, strange particles contribute to probe different kinematical domains, from the one where collective phenomena are at play up to the region dominated by pQCD-calculable processes. We highlight the suitability of the ALICE experiment for this topic, pres… Show more

“…In the present analysis we therefore kept to the basic structure of the thermal model with a single freeze-out temperature and focus on the resulting thermal parameters T ch , γ s and the radius. All our calculations were done using the latest version of THERMUS [24] [25].…”

“…Since no unambiguous temperature can be assigned to this transition, the question arises whether hadrons of different quark composition freeze-out simultaneously or exhibit a flavor hierarchy [2]. This question is relevant since the reported strangeness enhancement at SPS, RHIC and LHC energies (in particular in the multi-strange particle sector [3][4][5]), and the discovery of hypernuclei formation at RHIC [6] suggest the possibility of increased strange bound state production at the highest available collision energies. Furthermore, recent measurements in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the LHC indicate a separation of chemical freeze-out temperatures between light and strange quark hadrons [7,8].…”

“…The maximum R C P of three hadrons are all much larger than unity, which indicates that the initial state effects, such as the Cronin effect [13], might be dominant at these two energies. S can be used to make a comparison of baryon enhancement at higher energies [14], due to the large net-baryon density at mid-rapidity at these lower energies. As shown in Fig.…”
