Low mass dilepton production in pp, p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions with ALICE

Low mass vector meson (rho, omega, phi) production provides key information on the hot and dense state of strongly interacting matter produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions (called Quark-Gluon Plasma, QGP). Strangeness enhancement is one of the possible signatures of the Quark-Gluon Plasma formation and can be accessed through the measurement of phi meson production with respect to rho and omega mesons. The production dynamics and hadronization process in relativistic heavy-ion collisions can be probed through the measurement of the phi nuclear modification factor.
