Description
The energy densities reached in high-energy hadronic collisions at the LHC allow significant production of light (anti)nuclei.
Their production yields have been measured as a function of transverse momentum and charged-particle multiplicity in proton-proton, proton-lead and lead-lead collisions and at different center-of-mass energies by ALICE. One of the most interesting results obtained from such a large variety of experimental data is that the dominant production mechanism of light (anti)nuclei seems to depend solely on the event charged-particle multiplicity. Evidence for this comes from the continuous evolution of the deuteron-to-proton and $^{3}$He-to-proton ratios with the event multiplicity across different collision systems and energies.
In this contribution, the latest results on the measurements of light (anti)nuclei production obtained with the ALICE detector will be shown and discussed in the context of the statistical hadronization and coalescence models.
