Topological studies of light-flavor hadron production in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC

Recent results for high multiplicity pp and p-Pb collisions have revealed that they exhibit heavy-ion-like behaviors. To understand the origin(s) of these unexpected phenomena, event shape observables such as transverse spherocity and the relative transverse activity classifier (RT) can be exploited as a powerful tools to disentangle soft (non-perturbative) and hard (perturbative) particle production. The production of light-flavor hadrons is shown for various classes in pp collisions at measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The evolution of average transverse momentum with charged-particle multiplicity, and identified particle ratios as a function of pT for different are also presented. In addition, the system size dependence of charged-particle production in pp, p–Pb, and Pb–Pb collisions at is presented. The evolution of 〈pT〉 in different topological regions as a function of RT are presented. Finally, using the same approach, we present a search for jet quenching behavior in small collision systems.
