Neutral meson and photon production at the LHC measured with the ALICE experiment
The LHC provided pp collisions in the energy range $\sqrt{s}=0.9$ to $13$ TeV , p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{\mathrm{S_{NN}}}=5.02$ and $8$ TeV , as well as Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{\mathrm{S_{NN}}}=2.76$ and $5.02$ TeV. Neutral meson production spectra and their ratios $\eta/ \pi^0$ as well as photo...

Sumario: | The LHC provided pp collisions in the energy range $\sqrt{s}=0.9$ to $13$ TeV , p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{\mathrm{S_{NN}}}=5.02$ and $8$ TeV , as well as Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{\mathrm{S_{NN}}}=2.76$ and $5.02$ TeV. Neutral meson production spectra and their ratios $\eta/ \pi^0$ as well as photon double ratio $R_{\gamma}$ and direct photon spectra have been measured in a wide $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range at mid-rapidity by the ALICE experiment. Photons are registered in ALICE electromagnetic calorimeters, EMCal and PHOS or reconstructed from $e^+ e^−$ pairs when photons converted in the material of the inner barrel detectors (TPC and ITS). The $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ mesons are reconstructed via invariant mass technique with several complementary methods. The overview of the recent results from ALICE on the photon and meson production is presented. |
