Descripción
The extremely high center-of-mass collision energies at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are expected to produce significant yields of light (hyper-)nuclei in proton-proton, proton-lead, and especially in lead-lead collisions. In addition, these collisions give one the possibility to search and study light exotic states.
The use of the Time Projection Chamber and the Time-Of-Flight detector provides excellent particle identification of these (anti-)nuclei in a broad momentum range. The detailed study of these (anti-)nuclei provides important information about the particle production mechanism in these ultra-relativistic collisions.
Transverse-momentum spectra and production yields of light composite objects such as (anti-)nuclei and the (anti-)(hyper)triton will be shown. To understand their production mechanism, the (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei results will be compared to the predictions from thermal
and coalescence models. In addition, we will present results of searches for weakly-decaying light exotic states, such as the Lambda-Lambda (H-dibaryon) and the Lambda-neutron bound states.
