Abstract
The excellent tracking and particle identification capabilities of the ALICE apparatus combined with the high particle production rates reached at the LHC in pp, p–Pb and in particular in Pb–Pb collisions allow for detailed study of the production of nuclei and anti-nuclei. In this paper, recent results on the production of the (anti-)deuteron and (anti-)helium are presented and compared with the expectations from statistical (thermal) particle production and coalescence models.
Highlights
One of the goals of ultra-relativistic nuclear collision experiments is to understand the production mechanism of matter and antimatter
The excellent tracking and particle identification capabilities of the ALICE apparatus combined with the high particle production rates reached at the LHC in pp, p–Pb and in particular in Pb–Pb collisions allow for detailed study of the production of nuclei and antinuclei
The results presented here are obtained by a√nalysing the data collected by ALICE (A Large Ion√Collider Experiment) of pp collisions at s = 7 TeV reco√rded in 2011, Pb–Pb collisions at sNN = 2.76 TeV recorded in 2010 and p–Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV recorded at the beginning of 2013
