Abstract

The first measurement of the elliptic flow coefficient of (anti)Λ3H and the study of the v2 of 3He‾ measured in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=5.36 TeV with the ALICE detector are presented. Based on the large data sample of approximately five billion events collected in 2023 during the LHC Run 3 data taking, these measurements provide important insights into the production mechanism of (anti)(hyper)nuclei, as well as into the phase-space distributions of nucleons and hyperons produced in heavy-ion collisions. The results are discussed in the context of hydrodynamic and coalescence models, highlighting how the measurement of the elliptic flow of nuclei, such as helium and hypertriton, provides critical constraints on hadronization models.
