First study of the two-body scattering involving charm hadrons

Heavy flavors and quarkonia: highlights, open questions, and perspectives

“…These interactions modify the heavy-ion observables, and, to disentangle this effect from the signatures of the QGP formation, the scattering parameters of the charm hadrons with light-flavor hadrons, mainly pions and kaons, are required. Most recently the first measurement of D-p correlation function was performed within the ALICE Collaboration [22]. The result is reported in the right panel of Fig.…”

Synthesis of light nuclei in hadronic collisions

“…Femtoscopic measurements can also shed light on coupled-channel dynamics in N-K [26,27] and N-Λ [28] interactions. Moreover, first constraints on the p-φ [29] and p-D [30] interactions could be obtained from femtoscopy. These measurements are not discussed in detail here but they constitute a major step forward in the field of hadron physics and the understanding of hadronic interactions.…”

Correlation function and the inverse problem in the BD interaction*

“…Femtoscopic correlation functions are emerging as a tool for understanding the interactions of hadrons at small relative momenta. Considerable experimental research has already been conducted within the strange sector [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] (see also review paper [15]). Incursions in the D sector have been investigated [16], and plans to extend studies to this sector are expected in the near future [17].…”
