abstract = {The interaction between $\Lambda$ baryons and
kaons/antikaons is a crucial part of the strangeness $S=0$
($\Lambda-\mathrm{K}$) and $S=-2$
($\Lambda$-$\mathrm{\overline{K}}$) sector of the
meson-baryon interaction at low energies and in the
understanding of states such as the $\Xi(1620)$, whose
nature and properties are still rather unknown. Experimental
data on $\Lambda$-K and $\Lambda$-$\mathrm{\overline{K}}$
systems are rather scarce, leading to large uncertainties
and tension between the available theoretical predictions.
Recently, measurements of two-particle correlations in small
colliding systems such as p-p collisions at LHC provided a
significant improvement in the knowledge of several
hadron-hadron interactions, in particular when strange
baryons and mesons are involved. Correlation functions of
$\Lambda - $K$^+\oplus \overline{\Lambda} - $K$^-$ and
$\Lambda - $K$^-\oplus \overline{\Lambda} - $K$^+$ pairs
were measured in Pb-Pb collisions and provided for the first
time experimental constraints on the scattering parameters
of the underlying interactions. In this letter we extend the
measurements to small colliding systems by presenting
$\Lambda - $K$^+\oplus \overline{\Lambda} - $K$^-$ and
$\Lambda - $K$^-\oplus \overline{\Lambda} - $K$^+$
correlations obtained in the high-multiplicity triggered
sample in p-p collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV recorded by
ALICE. The interaction for both pairs is modeled using the
Lednicky-Lyuboshits analytical formula and the corresponding
scattering parameters $Ref_0$, $Imf_0$ and $d_0$ are
extracted by comparing the theoretical correlation to the
data. A repulsive interaction for the $\Lambda - $K$^+\oplus
\overline{\Lambda} - $K$^-$ system is found, which is in
agreement with previous Pb-Pb results. The non-negligible
$Imf_0$ indicates a significant coupling to inelastic
channels, such as $\pi$N and $\Sigma$K. The $\Lambda -
$K$^+\oplus \overline{\Lambda} - $K$^-$ correlations show
the presence of several structures at relative momenta
$k^\ast$ above 200 MeV$/c$, compatible with the $\Omega$,
$\Xi(1690)$ and $\Xi(1820)$ resonances decaying into
$\Lambda-\mathrm{K}^-$ pairs. The low $k^\ast$ region in the
$\Lambda - $K$^-\oplus \overline{\Lambda} - $K$^+$ also
exhibits the presence of the $\Xi(1620)$ state, expected to
strongly couple to the measured pair. The $\Lambda -
$K$^-\oplus \overline{\Lambda} - $K$^+$ interaction is hence
modeled assuming a resonant contribution, through the
formation of the $\Xi(1620)$ state, and a non-resonant one,
which dominates the intermediate $k^\ast$ region. The
extracted non-resonant scattering parameters are compatible
with the Pb-Pb measurements and the extracted pole
properties of the $\Xi(1620)$ agree with the recent Belle
measurement of $\Xi(1620)\rightarrow\Xi\pi$. The presented
data allow to access the $\Lambda - $K$^+\oplus
\overline{\Lambda} - $K$^-$ and $\Lambda - $K$^-\oplus
\overline{\Lambda} - $K$^+$ interaction with an
unprecedented precision and the first experimental
observation of the $\Xi(1620)$ decaying into the
$\Lambda-\mathrm{K}^-$ channel.},
