Abstract:Light-nuclei production yields in heavy-ion collisions are well described in the framework of Statistical Hadronization Models (SHM) but a thorough understanding of the underlying dynamics is still missing. In a complementary approach, synthesis of light nuclei can be modeled in terms of final-state coalescence of nucleons. While yielding an equally good description in central heavy-ion collisions, coalescence predictions are substantially different to those from SHM in small collision systems, in particular f… Show more
