At sufficiently high temperature and energy density, nuclear matter undergoes a transition to a phase in which quarks and gluons are not confined: the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) [1]. Such an extreme state of strongly-interacting QCD (Quantum Chromo-Dynamics) matter is produced in the laboratory with high-energy collisions of heavy nuclei, where an enhanced production of strange hadrons is observed [2-6]. Strangeness enhancement, originally proposed as a signature of QGP formation in nuclear collisions [7], is more pronounced for multi-strange baryons. Several effects typical of heavy-ion phenomenology have been observed in high-multiplicity proton-proton (pp) collisions [8,9]. Yet, enhanced production of multi-strange particles has not been reported so far. Here we present the first observation of strangeness enhancement in high-multiplicity pp collisions. We find that the integrated yields of strange and multi-strange particles relative to pions increases significantly with the event charged-particle multiplicity. The measurements are in remarkable agreement with p-Pb collision results [10,11] indicating that the phenomenon is related to the final system created in the collision. In high-multiplicity events strangeness production reaches values similar to those observed in Pb-Pb collisions, where a QGP is formed.

System-size dependence of charged-particle suppression in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions
First neon-neon R_AA measurement shows charged-particle suppression increasing monotonically with nuclear size across oxygen, neon, xenon, and lead at LHC energies.

Two-particle number and transverse momentum balance function with event-topology in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV
In PYTHIA8 and EPOS-LHC simulations of pp collisions, charge balance function widths narrow with multiplicity, are narrower in jet-like than isotropic events, and EPOS core-on/off differences point to radial flow as t...

Energy loss and theoretical uncertainties in small quark-gluon plasmas
A pQCD energy loss model with short-pathlength corrections shows the large formation time approximation fails self-consistently and, after a one-parameter fit, describes RHIC small systems while failing LHC small systems.

Predictions for $R_{AA}$ in 5.36 TeV C+C, O+O, and Ne+Ne collisions at the LHC
LHC light-ion R_AA measurements could discriminate between scenarios with and without mini-QGP formation in pp collisions, with the largest difference predicted for carbon.

Directed Flow of Protons and Deuterons in Xe+Cs(I) Collisions: Preliminary BM@N Data and THESEUS Modeling
Comparing preliminary BM@N proton and deuteron directed flow with THESEUS shows good proton agreement and a slight deuteron overestimation, tentatively supporting thermodynamic light-nucleus formation.
