Description
Measurements of the ratios of hadronic resonance yields to non-resonance yields can be used to study the properties of the hadronic phase of high-energy heavy-ion collisions. A change in resonance masses or widths could be an indication of chiral symmetry restoration. Measurements of resonances in proton-proton collisions provide an important baseline for measurements in heavy-ion collisions as well as data for tuning QCD-inspired particle production models. The ALICE collaboration has measured the K*(892)0 and φ(1020) resonances in Pb–Pb collisions at √SNN = 2.76 TeV and the K*(892)0, φ(1020), and Σ*(1385)± resonances in pp collisions at √S = 7 TeV. These measurements – including transverse momentum spectra, ratios to non-resonances, masses, and widths – are discussed and compared to theoretical predictions
