The production of light (anti-)nuclei and (anti-)hypertriton in a recent collsion system size scan program proposed for the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is investigated by using the dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence model and the parton and hadron cascade model. The collision system dependence of yield ratios for deuteron to proton, helium-3 to proton, and hypertriton to $Lambda$-hyperon with the corresponding values for antiparticles is predicted. The work presents that for the yield ratios a significant difference exists between (hyper)nuclei and their anti-(hyper)nuclei. Besides, much more suppression for (anti-)hypernuclei than light (anti-)nuclei is present. We further investigate strangeness population factors $s_3$ as a function of atomic mass number $A$. Our present study can provide a reference for a upcoming collision system scan program at RHIC.

The multiplicities of light (anti)nuclei were measured recently by the ALICE collaboration in Pb+Pb collisions at the center-of-mass collision energy $sqrt{s_{NN}} =2.76$ TeV. Surprisingly, the hadron resonance gas model is able to perfectly describe their multiplicities under various assumptions. For instance, one can consider the (anti)nuclei with a vanishing hard-core radius (as the point-like particles) or with the hard-core radius of proton, but the fit quality is the same for these assumptions. In this paper we assume the hard-core radius of nuclei consisting of $A$ baryons or antibaryons to follow the simple law $R(A) = R_b (A)^frac{1}{3}$, where $R_b$ is the hard-core radius of nucleon. To implement such a relation into the hadron resonance gas model we employ the induced surface tension concept and analyze the hadronic and (anti)nuclei multiplicities measured by the ALICE collaboration. The hadron resonance gas model with the induced surface tension allows us to verify different scenarios of chemical freeze-out of (anti)nuclei. It is shown that the most successful description of hadrons can be achieved at the chemical freeze-out temperature $T_h=150$ MeV, while the one for all (anti)nuclei is $T_A=168.5$ MeV. Possible explanations of this high temperature of (anti)nuclei chemical freeze-out are discussed.
The nuclear modification factors ($R_{AA}$) of $pi^{pm}, p(bar p)$, and $d(bar d)$ with $|y|<0.5, p_T<20.0$~GeV/c in peripheral (40-60%) and central (0-5%) Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt {s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV have been studied using the parton and hadron cascade ({footnotesize PACIAE}) model plus the dynamically constrained phase space coalescence ({footnotesize DCPC}) model. It is found that the $R_{AA}$ of light (anti)nuclei ($d, bar d$) is similar to that of hadrons ($pi^pm, p, bar p$), and the $R_{AA}$ of antiparticles is the same as that of particles. The suppression of $R_{AA}$ at high-$p_T$ strongly depends on event centrality and mass of the particles, i.e., the central collision is more suppressed than the peripheral collision. Besides, the yield ratios and double ratios for different particle species in $pp$ and Pb-Pb collisions are discussed, respectively. It is observed that the yield ratios and double ratios of $d$ to $p$ and $p$ to $pi$ are similar to those of their anti-particles in three different collision systems, suggesting that the suppressions of matter ($pi^{+}, p, d$) and the corresponding antimatter ($pi^{-},bar{p},bar{d}$) are around the same level.
A dynamically constrained coalescence model based on the phase space quantization and classical limit method was proposed to investigate the production of light nuclei (anti-nuclei) in non-single diffractive (NSD) pp collisions at $sqrt{s}$=7 and 14 TeV. This calculation was based on the final hadronic state in the PYTHIA and PACIAE model simulations, the event sample consisted of 1.2$times 10^8$ events in both simulations. The PACIAE model calculated $bar D$ yield of 6.247$times 10^{-5}$ in NSD pp collisions at $sqrt{s}$=7 TeV is well comparing with the ALICE rough datum of 5.456$times 10^{-5}$. It indicated the reliability of proposed method in some extent. The yield, transverse momentum distribution, and rapidity distribution of the $bar D$, $^3{bar{He}}$, and $_{barLambda} ^3{bar H}$ in NSD pp collisions at $sqrt{s} $=7 and 14 TeV were predicted by PACIAE and PYTHIA model simulations. The yield resulted from PACIAE model simulations is larger than the one from PYTHIA model. This might reflect the role played by the parton and hadron rescatterings.
We study the longitudinal polarization of the Sigma_bar and Xi_bar anti-hyperons in polarized high energy pp collisions at large transverse momenta, extending a recent study for the Lambda_bar anti-hyperon. We make predictions by using different parametrizations of the polarized parton densities and models for the polarized fragmentation functions. Similar to the Lambda_bar polarization, the Xi_bar0 and Xi_bar+ polarizations are found to be sensitive to the polarized anti-strange sea in the nucleon. The Sigma_bar- and Sigma_bar+ polarizations show sensitivity to the light sea quark polarizations, Delta bar u(x) and Delta bar d(x), and their asymmetry.
Initial geometrical distribution and fluctuation can affect the collective expansion in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. This effect may be more evident in small system (such as B + B) than in large one (Pb + Pb). This work presents the collision system dependence of collective flows and discusses about effects on collective flows from initial fluctuations in a framework of a multiphase transport model. The results shed light on system scan on experimental efforts to small system physics.
