Description
Femtoscopic studies of Baryon-Baryon pairs opens a new era of studying twoparticle
interactions at colliders. In particular, small collision systems prove to
be particularly well suited to probe the short-ranged strong potentials.
Experimental data are compared to local potentials with the newly developed
Correlation Analysis Tool using the Schrödinger Equation (CATS).
This analysis is based on the data measured by the ALICE Collaboration from pPb
collisions at 5.02 TeV and the correlation function is obtained for pairs of
protons and $\Xi$s. For the first time, an attractive strong interaction is observed
between the two particles is observed with a significance of more than 3$\sigma$.
Lattice calculations by the HAL QCD to model the latter are validated and are
used to explore the implications of including the newly found attractive p-$\Xi$
interaction in the description of neutron stars.
