Light flavour hadron production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with ALICE

Abstract

The ALICE detector has excellent Particle IDentification (PID) capabilities in the central barrel ($|\eta |<$ 0.9). This allows identified hadron production to be measured over a wide transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}$) range, using different sub-detectors and techniques: their specific energy loss (d$E$/d$x$), the velocity determination via time-of-flight measurement, the Cherenkov angle or their characteristic weak decay topology. Results on identified light flavour hadron production at mid-rapidity measured by ALICE in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV are presented and compared with previous measurements performed at lower energies. The results cover a wide range of particle species including long-lived hadrons, resonances and multi-strange baryons over the $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range from 150 MeV/$c$ up to 20 GeV/$c$, depending on the particle species.
