We calculate several femtoscopy correlation functions in the strangeness sectors $S=0$ and $S=-2$ for meson-baryon interactions. We combine the amplitudes of chiral perturbation theory at leading order with the TROY (T-matrix-based Routine…

The system size dependence of baryon-strangeness (BS) correlations ($C_{BS}$) are investigated with a multiphase transport (AMPT) model for various collision systems from $\mathrm{^{10}B+^{10}B}$, $\mathrm{^{12}C+^{12}C}$,…

We analyze joint factorial cumulants of protons and antiprotons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions and point out that they obey the scaling $\hat{C}_{nm}^{p,\bar{p}} \propto \langle N_p \rangle^n \langle N_{\bar{p}} \rangle^m$ as a…
