Thanks to its unique particle identification capabilities the ALICE detector is able to identify light-flavour, strange and multi-strange hadrons, including π, K, p, K0s, Λ, Ξ and Ω, over a wide range of transverse momentum, from pp and p-Pb interactions up to central Pb-Pb collisions. The latest results on the nuclear modification factor, R AA, as a function of the Pb-Pb collision centrality, is shown for various particle specie at √SNN = 2.76 TeV centre-of-mass energy. For each particle specie, the R AA is compared with the nuclear modification factors R pA in p-Pb collisions to asses the presence of hot nuclear matter effects affecting the high-p particle production in Pb-Pb collisions. The results on the R AA of charged hadrons at √SNN = 5.02 TeV, the highest energy ever reached in the laboratory for heavy-ion collisions, is also shown.

Abstract
Thanks to its unique particle identification capabilities the ALICE detector is able to identify light-flavour, strange and multi-strange hadrons, including π, K, p, K0s, Λ, Ξ and Ω, over a wide range of transverse momentum, from pp and p-Pb interactions up to central Pb-Pb collisions. The latest results on the nuclear modification factor, R AA, as a function of the Pb-Pb collision centrality, is shown for various particle specie at √SNN = 2.76 TeV centre-of-mass energy. For each particle specie, the R AA is compared with the nuclear modification factors R pA in p-Pb collisions to asses the presence of hot nuclear matter effects affecting the high-p particle production in Pb-Pb collisions. The results on the R AA of charged hadrons at √SNN = 5.02 TeV, the highest energy ever reached in the laboratory for heavy-ion collisions, is also shown.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
