Description
Studying the energy and multiplicity dependence of strange hadron production in pp collisions provides a powerful tool for understanding similarities and differences between small and large collision systems. The charged-particle multiplicity is an important characteristic of the hadronic final state of a pp interaction, but it also reflects the initial dynamics of the collision being strongly correlated with the energy effectively available for particle production in its initial stages (effective energy).
A new multi-differential analysis is performed to separate initial and final state effects on strangeness production in small collision systems. The production of (multi)strange hadrons is studied in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity measured at midrapidity and the forward energy detected by ALICE Zero Degree Calorimeters.
The results provide new insights into the role of initial state effects on strangeness production.
