| Abstract: Two-particle correlations as a function of relative momentum are presented for $\mathrm{K^{0}_{S}}$, $\Lambda$, and $\overline{\Lambda}$ strange hadrons produced in lead-lead collisions at ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}}= $ 5.02 TeV. The data were obtained using the CMS detector at the LHC. Such correlations are sensitive to quantum statistics and to possible final-state interactions between the particles. Source radii extracted from $\mathrm{K^{0}_{S}K^{0}_{S}}$ correlations in different centrality regions are found to decrease in going from central to peripheral collisions. Strong-interaction scattering parameters (i.e., scattering length and effective range) are determined from $\Lambda\mathrm{K^{0}_{S}}\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\mathrm{K^{0}_{S}}$ and $\Lambda\Lambda\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\overline{\Lambda}$ correlations using the Lednicky-Lyuboshits model and compared to other experimental and theoretical results. | ||

| Summary |
| The ${\mathrm{K^{0}_{S}K^{0}_{S}}}$, ${\Lambda\mathrm{K^0_S}\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\mathrm{K^0_S}}$, and ${\Lambda\mathrm{K^0_S}\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\mathrm{K^0_S}}$ femtoscopic correlations are extracted from data collected in PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV. This is the first report of ${\Lambda\mathrm{K^0_S}\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\mathrm{K^0_S}}$ correlations in PbPb collisions. The source size $R_{\text{inv}}$ is extracted for ${\mathrm{K^{0}_{S}K^{0}_{S}}}$ correlations in six equal width centrality bins covering the 0-60% centrality range and is found to decrease going towards more peripheral collisions. The extraction of $R_{\text{inv}}$ as a function of $m_{\mathrm{T}}$ is also presented for ${\mathrm{K^{0}_{S}K^{0}_{S}}}$ correlations and is compared with ALICE results at ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}} = $ 2.76 TeV. Measured values for $R_{\text{inv}}$, based on ${\Lambda\mathrm{K^0_S}\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\mathrm{K^0_S}}$, and ${\Lambda\mathrm{K^0_S}\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\mathrm{K^0_S}}$ correlations, are also presented for the 0-80% centrality range. The Lednicky-Lyuboshits model fits to the correlation data indicate that the ${\Lambda\mathrm{K^0_S}\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\mathrm{K^0_S}}$ interaction is repulsive and ${\Lambda\mathrm{K^0_S}\oplus\overline{\Lambda}\mathrm{K^0_S}}$ interaction is attractive with no evidence for a bound H-dibaryon. |
