      Seminar: Strange and fragile - Creation of fragile antimatter at the LHC 1h

      The high collision energies reached at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN
      lead to significant production rates of fragile objects, i.e. objects whose binding
      energies are small compared to the average kinetic energy of the particles produced
      in the system. Such objects are, for instance, light (anti-)nuclei and (anti-)hypernuclei.
      The most extreme example here is the hypertriton, a bound state of a proton, a
      neutron and a $\Lambda$ hyperon, where the separation energy of the $\Lambda$ is only around 130
      keV. Such states, from anti-deuteron up to anti-alpha nuclei, are nevertheless
      created and observed in the hot + rough environment of proton-proton and heavy-ion
      collisions at the LHC. The reached temperatures are higher than 156 MeV,
      corresponding to 1.8 x 10$^{12}$ K.
      Selected highlights of measurements of these fragile objects will be presented.
