Overview and new directions about light (anti)nuclei measurements with ALICE

The production of light (anti)nuclei has been measured by the ALICE experiment in the last decade. Despite the abundance of experimental re- sults, the production mechanism of light (anti)nuclei is still mysterious and under intense debate in the scientific community. The experimental data are typically de- scribed using two different phenomenological models: the statistical hadronization model and the baryon coalescence. In this contribution, an overview of recent AL- ICE results on light (anti)nuclei production measurements will be presented. The global picture emerging from these measurements will be discussed in the context of the available phenomenological models. Recently, ALICE has performed pioneering measurements of the (anti)deuteron coalescence parameter in and out of jets in small collision systems where unexpected and intriguing results were obtained. These will be presented along with perspectives for further developments of this research line in the LHC Run 3.
