Description
The study of hadron-hadron interactions can be best accessed via scattering experiments. This technique worked very well with nucleons
and also secondary pion- and kaon-beams but becomes a real challenge for short lived hadrons, in particular for hyperons. Since the
hyperon-nucleon and also hyperon-nucleon-nucleon interaction is scarsely known and plays a fundamental role in the understanding of
the equation of state of dense baryonic matter, new experimental techniques are called for.
In this talk we review recent results from femtoscopy studies of pp and pLambda correlations measured in p-Nb reactions at 3.5 GeV and
pp, p-Lambda, Lambda-Lambda and pXi correlations extracted from pp collisions at 7 and 13 TeV and p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, measured by the HADES
and ALICE collaboration, respectively. We will discuss the advantages of studying baryon-baryon correlations in small colliding systems,
showing the feasibility and limits of the method and giving an overview of the newly developed tools capable of computing the exact
correlation function for any colliding system. We will present current results and future perspective at the LHC and at FAIR.
