Abstract

Measurements of spectra of identified particles produced in jets in heavy-ion collisions can provide further important insights into the interplay of various hadronisation processes which participate in the particle production in the hot and dense medium. In this contribution, we present the measurements of the pT spectra of Λ baryons and K0S mesons produced in association with charged jets in Pb-Pbcollisions at = 2.76 TeV and in p-Pb collisions at = 5.02 TeV. The results are obtained with the ALICE detector at the LHC, exploiting the excellent particle identification capabilities of this experiment. Baryon-to-meson ratios of the spectra of strange particles associated with jets are studied in central collisions and are compared to the ratios obtained for inclusive particles and for particles coming from the underlying event.

Highlights

  • An enhancement of the baryon-to-meson ratio has been observed for inclusive production of lightflavour particles at intermediate transverse momenta (2 GeV/c < pT < 6 GeV/c) in heavy-ion collisions when compared to the ratio measured in proton–proton collisions

  • The measured baryon-tomeson ratio in jets in p–Pb collisions is below the inclusive ratio i) measured in p–Pb collisions, ii) measured in pp collisions [16] and iii) obtained with PYTHIA simulations

  • We described techniques used in the analysis of the Λ/K0S ratio in charged jets

Summary

Introduction

An enhancement of the baryon-to-meson ratio has been observed for inclusive production of lightflavour particles at intermediate transverse momenta (2 GeV/c < pT < 6 GeV/c) in heavy-ion collisions when compared to the ratio measured in proton–proton (pp) collisions. The process might be sensitive to interactions of fragmenting partons with the stronglyinteracting matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Such interaction might modify properties of the resulting jet, including pT spectra of the hadrons which constitute the jet. V.
