Rho meson production in pp and Pb-Pb at 2.76 TeV

Experiment: ALICE (LHC)

Inspire ID: 1672860

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Enrico Fragiacomo

Beams: p+ p+, 1000822080 1000822080

Beam energies: (1380.0, 1380.0); (287040.0, 287040.0)GeV

Run details: none listed

The production of the ρ(770)0 meson has been measured at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) in pp and centrality differential Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\text{NN}}= 2.76$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The particles have been reconstructed in the ρ(770)0 → π++π decay channel in the transverse-momentum (pT) range 0.511 GeV/c. A centrality-dependent suppression of the ratio of the integrated yields 2ρ(770)0/(π++π) is observed. The ratio decreases by  ∼ 40% from pp to central Pb-Pb collisions. A study of the pT-differential 2ρ(770)0/(π++π) ratio reveals that the suppression occurs at low transverse momenta, pT < 2 GeV/c. At higher momentum, particle ratios measured in heavy-ion and pp collisions are consistent. The observed suppression is very similar to that previously measured for the K*(892)0/K ratio and is consistent with EPOS3 predictions that may imply that rescattering in the hadronic phase is a dominant mechanism for the observed suppression.
