The measurement of light-flavour-particle production in small collision systems at the LHC has shown features that resemble phenomena seen in heavy-ion collisions. The historical signatures of the quark–gluon plasma (QGP) formation, such as collective flow and the enhanced production of strange hadrons, were also observed in high-multiplicity proton–proton (pp) and proton–lead (p–Pb) collisions. In this article, new results on lightflavour-particle production measured in high-multiplicity triggered events are presented, reaching charged-particle values of semi-peripheral Pb–Pb collisions. In addition, this paper presents the first Run 3 results on the production of π, K, p, and Ω multi-strange baryons in pp collisions at √S = 13:6 TeV and √S = 900 GeV, the highest and the lowest collision energies at the LHC.
