We present the measurements of strange and multi-strange hadrons in high energy pp and Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The data for these measurements were collected by the ALICE detector in 2010 and 2011. By…
Strange quark and particle production is studied at the LHC with unprecedented high beam energies in both heavy-ion and proton-proton collisions: on the one hand, strangeness is used for investigating chemical equilibration and bulk…
Within the statistical model, the net strangeness conservation and incomplete total strangeness equilibration lead to the suppression of strange particle multiplicities. Furthermore, suppression effects appear to be stronger in small…

Elliptic flow measurements as a function of p_T of charged (pi^+- and low-p_T protons) and strange (Lambda and K^0_S) particles from Pb+Au collisions at 158 AGeV/c are presented, together with measurements of phi and K^0_S meson production.…
We report on the observed differences in production rates of strange and multi-strange baryons in Au+Au collisions at sqrts = 200 GeV compared to pp interactions at the same energy. The strange baryon yields in Au+Au collisions, then scaled…
Strangeness plays an important role in the study of quark matter since it indicates the rate at which new particles are being produced and therefore provides information about the degree of chemical equilibration reached in heavy ion…
High-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at the LHC may exhibit collective phenomena such as elliptic flow. We study this issue using DIPSY, a brand-new Monte Carlo event generator which features almost-NLO BFKL dynamics and describes the…
High multiplicity proton-proton and proton-lead collisions at LHC energies exhibit similar signatures to those observed in Pb-Pb collisions (i.e. the strangeness enhancement, the ridge behaviours etc.), that were commonly attributed to the…
Multi-strange hadrons ($\phi$, $\Xi$, and $\Omega$), owing to their small hadronic interaction cross sections, provide a sensitive probe of partonic collectivity with minimal distortion from late-stage hadronic rescattering. Using…
