Vector meson production in pp collisions at √s=7TeV measured with the ALICE detector

  • 1. Cagliari Univ and INFN sez. di Cagliari, Cagliari (Italy)

Description

Vector mesons are key probes of the hot and dense state of strongly interacting matter produced in heavy-ion collisions. Their dileptonic decay channel is particularly suitable for these studies, since dileptons have negligible final-state interactions in QCD matter. A measurement of the φ and ω differential cross sections was performed by the ALICE experiment in pp collisions at √s = 7TeV, through their decay in muon pairs, for pt > 1GeV/c and 2.5 < y < 4.
