ALICE results on the production of the light-flavor hadrons at the LHC

Abstract Production of light-flavor hadrons in pp, p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC has been measured by ALICE. The light-flavor hadrons ( π ± , K ± , K s 0 , p, p ¯ , Λ , Λ ¯ , ϕ ) are identified in the various momentum ranges by using specific energy loss ( d E / d x ), time-of-flight, Cherenkov radiation, and via decay topology and invariant mass analysis for decayed particles. In these proceedings, the p T spectra, yields and ratios of light-flavor hadrons measured in pp, p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions in multiplicity (centrality) intervals are presented. The hadron production in different collision systems is compared and confronted with theoretical models.
