Identified Particle Production in p-Pb Collisions Measured with the ALICE Detector

Abstract

ALICE has unique capabilities among the LHC experiments for particle identification (PID) at mid-rapidity ($|\eta |<0.9$) over a wide range of transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}$). In this proceeding recent measurements of $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ spectra for $\pi$, K, ${\mathrm{K}}_s^0$, p, and $\Lambda$ in p-Pb collisions are presented and compared to results from Pb-Pb and pp. In particular the implications for the question of the existence of radial flow in small systems is discussed.
