Femtoscopy for exotic hadrons and nuclei

Abstract: In high energy collision experiments with multiple hadron productions, the momentum distribution of the measured hadron pair shows a correlation due to the final state hadron interactions and the quantum statistics. In the past, this femtoscopy technique has been developed to extract the information of the emission source from the momentum correlation functions. Recently, correlation function measurement is utilized also as a new method to determine the hadron interactions. In fact, the ALICE collaboration at LHC measures the correlation functions with various hadron pairs, for which the standard scattering experiment is difficult, providing remarkable progress in the study of the hadron interactions. In this contribution, we introduce the theoretical method to calculate the correlation functions, and present recent results on the study of the antikaon-nucleon interactions and hyperon-nucleus interactions.
