$\phi$ meson production in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt s_{NN}$=5.02 TeV with ALICE at the LHC

Strangeness production is a key tool to understand the properties of the medium formed in heavy-ion collisions: an enhanced production of strange particles was early proposed as one of the signatures of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. The ϕ meson, due to its ss‾ valence quark content, provides insight into...

Sumario:Strangeness production is a key tool to understand the properties of the medium formed in heavy-ion collisions: an enhanced production of strange particles was early proposed as one of the signatures of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. The ϕ meson, due to its ss‾ valence quark content, provides insight into strangeness production.
