Abstract
Recent measurements performed in high-multiplicity proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions have shown features that are reminiscent of those observed in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions. These observations warrant a comprehensive measurement of the production of identified particles. We report on the production of KS0, Λ, Λ‾, Ξ± and Ω± at mid-rapidity measured as a function of multiplicity in pp collisions at s=7 TeV with the ALICE experiment. Spectral shapes studied both for individual particles and via particle ratios such as (Λ/KS0) as a function of pT exhibit an evolution with event multiplicity and the production rates of hyperons are observed to increase more strongly than those of non-strange hadrons. These phenomena are qualitatively similar to the ones observed in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions.
