Description

The ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC is devoted to the study of nucleus-nucleus collisions at the highest energies ever reached in the laboratory. The excellent particle identification allows to discern particles in a wide range of mass. The secondary vertices can be reconstructed within the Inner Tracking System. These capabilities enable the study of light hypernuclei in heavy-ion collisions. In this talk the ongoing investigation of hypertriton and anti-hypertriton production in Pb-Pb collisions at √(sNN)=5.02 TeV is presented, following the previous analysis at √(sNN)=2.76 TeV. The decay products are identified based on their specific energy loss in the Time Projection Chamber. The 3ΛH and 3 anti Λ anti H are reconstructed using the invariant mass of 3He and π- and 3He and π+, respectively.
