Abstract

Strange hadrons constitute a unique tool for studying hadronization. While their production yield was first proposed as a clean signature of quark-gluon plasma (Rafelski J., Eur. Phys. J. ST, 229 (2020) 1) formation in heavy-ion collisions, at present the role of strangeness production in large and small collision systems is pivotal in understanding how a colored system evolves into the observed gas of mesons and baryons. This process started to be explored in more detail after the ALICE Collaboration made the groundbreaking observation that strange-hadron yields increase with charged-particle multiplicity density, regardless of the collision system or the center-of-mass energy (ALICE Collaboration, Nat. Phys., 13 (2017) 535). The data also shows that transverse momentum spectra in elementary interactions are affected by partonic collectivity even when only few particles are produced at midrapidity (Kalweit A., Nucl. Phys. A, 982 (2019) 1). In this proceedings, a complete overview of the latest findings in the study of strangehadron production at the LHC will be presented, with special emphasis on the discussion of present and future prospects of this field in view of the LHC Run 3 data taking campaign.
