Study of baryon-strangeness and charge-strangeness correlations in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV with ALICE by Saha Swati

“…This work mainly focuses on the correlations between net-kaon and net-proton, and net-kaon and net-charge in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV using data recorded during LHC Run 2. The net-proton and net-kaon serve as proxies for net-baryon and net-strangeness, respectively, with measurements analyzed as a function of collision centrality. …”
