Description
In the last years the correlation measurements at LHC, particularly performed in small colliding systems such as proton-proton collisions, proved to be a powerful experimental tool to access the strong force between hadrons. A large amount of interactions among stable or unstable hadrons have not been measured yet and theoretical calculations based on effective lagrangians and/or starting from first principles, with quarks and gluons as degrees of freedom, are constantly under development and in need of more experimental data. In this talk I will present an overview on recent correlation measurements involving hadrons with strange and charm quarks representing pivotal examples on how such novel technique can help providing input for a more realistic equation of state for neutron stars and how femtoscopy can contribute to the search and understanding of exotic states. For the latter, I will focus on the recent results obtained in the meson-baryon $S=-1$ and $S=-2$ with the measurements of $\Lambda\pi$, $\Xi K$, $\Lambda\bar{K}$ and $\Xi\pi$ correlations. Latest results on the correlation of D mesons with light hadrons will be shown. Finally, future perspectives will also be presented on how to employ femtoscopy to shed light in the charm and many-body sector.
