Sumario: | The ALICE experiment at the LHC has measured the production of strange hadrons and resonances in Pb-Pb and pp collisions at unprecedented high beam energies. The study of strange hadrons and resonances helps us to understand the properties of the medium created in the heavy-ion collisions and its evolution. We present the yields ($dN/dy$) at mid-rapidity for strange hadrons ($\Lambda$, $\Xi^{-}$, $\Omega^{-}$, their anti-particles and $K_{S}^{0}$) and resonances ($\phi$ and $K^{*0}$) for several collision centrality intervals. The results from Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV are presented and compared to corresponding results from pp collisions and lower energy measurements. Baryon to meson ratios and resonance to non-resonance particle ratios relative to pp collisions are shown as a function of collision centrality and compared with the results at lower energies. |
