Description
The formation mechanism of light (anti)nuclei in high-energy hadronic collisions remains an open question in high-energy physics. Their production mechanism is investigated by comparing experimental data with phenomenological models using statistical hadronization or a coalescence approach.
In particular, the coalescence mechanism finds an essential application in cosmic antinuclei studies for indirect dark matter searches with space-based experiments like AMS.

Thanks to the excellent tracking and particle identification performance, the ALICE experiment has performed a broad set of precision measurements on (anti)nuclei produced in different collision systems (pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb) since the beginning of its operations. Furthermore, the ALICE apparatus underwent a series of major upgrades to take full advantage of the luminosity increase of the LHC Run 3. The results of these latest Run 3 d (
