Using a density matrix approach to describe the process of coalescence, we calculate the coalescence probabilities and invariant momentum spectra for deuterons and antideuterons. We evaluate our expressions with a hydrodynamically motivated parametrization for the source at freeze-out which implements rapid collective expansion of the collision zone formed in heavy ion collisions. We find that the coalescence process is governed by the same lengths of homogeneity which can be extracted from HBT interferometry. They appear in the absolute cluster yield via an effective volume factor as well as in a quantum mechanical correction factor which accounts for the internal structure of the deuteron cluster. Our analysis provides a new interpretation for the parameters in the popular phenomenological coalescence model and for the effective overlap volume in Hagedorn's model for cluster production in pp collisions. Using source parameters extracted from a recent HBT analysis of two-pion correlations, we successfully describe deuteron and antideuteron production data from Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS as measured by the NA44 and NA52 collaborations. We also confirm the recent finding by Polleri et al. that the different measured slopes of nucleon and deuteron transverse mass spectra require a transverse density profile of the source which is closer to a box than to a Gaussian shape.

$\Lambda$(1520) as a probe of resonance-driven deuteron formation at the LHC
Simulations show a peak in the proxy mass M_(d/2)K only when deuterons form by coalescence of protons from Λ(1520) decays, not in thermal models.

Effects of light-cluster degrees of freedom on collective flows in heavy-ion collisions at FOPI energies
Explicitly propagating light clusters in a Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport model substantially modifies predicted proton v1-v4 flows at low FOPI energies (120-400 A MeV) but not above 600 A MeV.
