Spectra in p-Pb collisionsp Pb

• proton beam energy = 4 TeV;

• proton energy in lead nuclei = 4x82/208 ≈ 1.58 TeV;

• Center of mass energy per nucleon pair = 2(4x1.58)0.5 ≈ 5.02 TeV;

• The center of mass moves in the lab. frame with rapidity Y = - 0.465.

Spectra in p-Pb collisionsTotal statistic• p-Pb 5.02 TeV, LHC13b (EDSs pass3): ≈ 20 millions MB events

• p-Pb 5.02 TeV, LHC13c (ESDs pass2): ≈ 70 millions MB events

• Centrality (multiplicity) selected using the amplitude of the signal of V0A detector;

• Spectra evaluated in the rapidity range 0 < YCMS < 0.5;

• YLAB = YCMS – 0.465, 0 < YCMS < 0.5 corresponds to -0.465 < YLAB < 0.035

• For each mass hypothesis a cut on YLAB has been applied and the corresponding raw yields has been evaluated.

• The main corrections have been estimated from Monte Carlo:• MC productions: LHC13b2_efix_p1, LHC13b2_efix_p2

Conclusions

• Pb-Pb corrected spectra have been evaluated in central and semi-central collisions (0-50%).

• p-Pb corrected spectra have been evaluated in all events classes (V0A 0-100%).

• Main corrections have been applied (tracking eff., PID eff., distance cut).

• To do: • Further increase Monte Carlo statistic for PID efficiency

evaluation?• Cross check PID efficiency from MC with that extracted from real

data (V0’s decays).• Estimate feed-down correction.
