Results on (anti-)hypertriton production in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV, obtained by ALICE at the LHC, are reported. The (anti-)H signal is extracted exploiting its mesonic decay (H-3(Lambda) -> He-3 + pi), via the topological identification of secondary vertices and the analysis of the invariant mass distributions of (He-3, pi) pairs. The (He-3,pi) invariant mass distributions in different transverse momentum and in proper time intervals are shown. Search for Lambda Lambda state (H-Dibaryon) via its decay H-Dibaxyon -> Lambda p pi(-) is discussed. As no H-Dibaxyon signal is observed, an upper limit on its production yield has been determined.
