A Data-Guided Coalescence Model for Light Nuclei and Hypernuclei: Validation and Predictions
The production of light hypernuclei in relativistic heavy-ion collisions provides a unique opportunity to probe hyperon--nucleon interactions and possible three-body forces, which are central to the resolution of the hyperon puzzle in neutron star matter. In this work, we develop a data-guided coalescence framework in which the source size is extracted from proton and deuteron yields and used, together with measured proton and $Λ$ spectra, to predict the production of $A=3$ nuclei $(t,{}^{3}\r…
