The first measurements of dielectron production at midrapidity ($|η_{\rm e}|<0.8$) in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV at the LHC are presented. The dielectron cross section is measured with the ALICE detector as a function of the invariant mass $m_{\rm{ee}}$ and the pair transverse momentum $p_{\rm{T,ee}}$ in the ranges $m_{\rm{ee}}$ < 3.5 GeV/$c^{2}$ and $p_{\rm{T,ee}}$ < 8.0 GeV/$c^{2}$, in both collision systems. In proton-proton collisions, the charm and beauty cross sections are determined at midrapidity from a fit to the data with two different event generators. This complements the existing dielectron measurements performed at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 and 13 TeV. The slope of the $\sqrt{s}$ dependence of the three measurements is described by FONLL calculations. The dielectron cross section measured in proton-lead collisions is in agreement, within the current precision, with the expected dielectron production without any nuclear matter effects for $\rm{e}^{+}\rm{e}^{-}$ pairs from open heavy-flavor hadron decays. For the first time at LHC energies, the dielectron production in proton-lead and proton-proton collisions are directly compared at the same $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ via the dielectron nuclear modification factor $R_{\rm{pPb}}$. The measurements are compared to model calculations including cold nuclear matter effects, or additional sources of dielectrons from thermal radiation.
A measurement of dielectron production in proton-proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, recorded with the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC, is presented in this Letter. The data set was recorded with a reduced magnetic solenoid field. This enables the investigation of a kinematic domain at low dielectron invariant mass $m_{\rm ee}$ and pair transverse momentum $p_{\rm T,ee}$ that was previously inaccessible at the LHC. The cross section for dielectron production is studied as a function of $m_{\rm ee}$, $p_{\rm T,ee}$, and event multiplicity ${\rm d} N_{\rm ch}/{\rm d} η$. The expected d…
The first measurement of dielectron ($\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-}$) production in central (0$-$10$\%$) Pb-Pb collisions at $\mathbf{\sqrt{\textit{s}_{\mathrm{NN}}}}$ = 2.76 TeV at the LHC is presented. The dielectron invariant-mass spectrum is compared to the expected contributions from hadron decays in the invariant-mass range $0 < m_{\mathrm{ee}}<3.5\ \mathrm{GeV}/\textit{c}^{2}$. The ratio of data and the cocktail of hadronic contributions without vacuum $ρ^{0}$ is measured in the invariant-mass range $0.15 < m_{\mathrm{ee}}<0.7\ \mathrm{GeV}/\textit{c}^{2}$, where an excess of dielectrons…
Dielectrons are an excellent probe for the QCD matter created in created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, since they are emitted during the whole evolution of the collision and do not interact strongly with the medium. To isolate the QGP signals, measurement of the dielectron production in vacuum and its modifications due to the presence of cold nuclear matter is necessary. We present and discuss results from a low magnetic field detector setup in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, as well as the measurement of dielectron production in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions at…
Dielectrons probe a wide range of phenomena in heavy-ion collisions. These include light- and heavy-flavour meson production, thermal radiation and coherent photo-production. The latter process is distinguished by dielectron production at low transverse-pair momentum ($ \it{p}_{\textrm{T,ee}}$). Transverse momentum spectra of dielectrons in central and peripheral Pb-Pb collisions are extracted and compared to the corresponding expectations. In central collisions the data fit the expected spectrum, which is dominated by semi-leptonic decays of correlated heavy-flavour hadrons. In peripheral col…
The ALICE Collaboration measured dielectron production as a function of the invariant mass ($m_{\rm ee}$), the pair transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T,ee}$) and the pair distance of closest approach ($\rm DCA_{ee}$) in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. Prompt and non-prompt dielectron sources can be separated with the $\rm DCA_{ee}$, which will give the opportunity in heavy-ion collisions to identify thermal radiation from the medium in the intermediate-mass range dominated by contributions from open-charm and beauty hadron decays. The charm and beauty total cross sections are extracted from th…
The measurement of dielectron production is presented as a function of invariant mass and transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) at midrapidity ($|y_{\rm e}|<0.8$) in proton-proton (pp) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The contributions from light-hadron decays are calculated from their measured cross sections in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV or 13 TeV. The remaining continuum stems from correlated semileptonic decays of heavy-flavour hadrons. Fitting the data with templates from two different MC event generators, PYTHIA and POWHEG, the charm and beauty cross sections…
The first measurement of e$^+$e$^-$ pair production at mid-rapidity ($|η_{\rm e}|$ $<$ 0.8) in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with ALICE at the LHC is presented. The dielectron production is studied as a function of the invariant mass ($m_{\rm ee}$ $<$ 3.3 GeV/$c^{2}$), the pair transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T,ee}$ $<$ 8 GeV/$c$), and the pair transverse impact parameter (DCA$_{\rm ee}$), i.e., the average distance of closest approach of the reconstructed electron and positron tracks to the collision vertex, normalised to its resolution. The results are compared with the expectations from …
Heavy quarks are useful probes to investigate the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, since they are produced in initial hard scattering processes. To single out the signals that are characteristic of the QGP, it is nevertheless crucial to understand the primordial heavy-quark production in vacuum, and to disentangle hot from cold nuclear matter effects. Moreover, observations of collective effects in high-multiplicity pp and p-Pb collisions show surprising similarities with those in heavy-ion collisions. Heavy-flavour production in such coll…
Low-mass dielectron measurements play an essential role in the study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. They are produced in all stages of the collision and are not affected by final-state interactions. Thus, they provide a penetrating probe of the created medium. In the dielectron intermediate-mass region a measurement of the thermal radiation from the QGP gives information on the medium temperature. However, in this region the main component of the dielectron continuum stems from correlated semi-leptonic decays of charm and beauty hadrons. The…
The self-normalised $ψ(2S)$ yields as a function of charged-particle multiplicity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV and p--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$= 8.16 TeV, using the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC, are reported in these proceedings. This measurement represents one of the main tools to understand the role of multiparton interactions and their influence on charmonium production in small systems, i.e pp and pA collisions. The ratio of $ψ(2S)$-over-J/$ψ$ as a function of charged-particle multiplicity is also presented for both pp and p--Pb collisions. The comparison to th…

Measurement of azimuthal correlations of D mesons and charged particles in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV
The two-particle differential transverse momentum correlator $G_{2}$ recently measured in Pb$-$Pb collisions, emerged as a powerful tool to gain insight into particle production mechanisms and to infer transport properties such as the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density of the medium created in Pb$-$Pb collisions. In this poster, recent ALICE measurements of this correlator in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and p$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV are presented to search, in particular, for viscous effects expected to arise in fluid-like systems produced in these collisions…
Measurement of electrons from beauty-hadron decays in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV
Measurements of the inclusive J/$ψ$ yield as a function of charged-particle pseudorapidity density ${\rm d}N_{\rm ch}/\rm{d}η$ in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with ALICE at the LHC are reported. The J/$ψ$ meson yield is measured at midrapidity ($|y|<0.9$) in the dielectron channel, for events selected based on the charged-particle multiplicity at midrapidity ($|η|<1$) and at forward rapidity ($-3.7<η<-1.7$ and $2.8<η<5.1$); both observables are normalized to their corresponding averages in minimum bias events. The increase of the normalized J/$ψ$ yield with normalized ${\rm d}N_{\rm ch…

用ATLAS方法测量了LHC上$\sqrt{s} = 5.02$和$13$ TeV $pp$碰撞以及$\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 5.02$ TeV $p$ +Pb碰撞的两粒子关联。测量的相关函数作为相对方位角$Δϕ$，和赝快度分离$Δη$的函数，使用带电粒子的赝快度间隔$|η|{<}2.5$内检测。方位角调制的相关函数的长程分量，与$|Δη|{>}2$，研究使用模板拟合过程，以消除“背靠背”的相关函数，主要是从硬散射过程中产生的贡献。除了在先前的测量中观察到的椭圆$\cos{(2Δϕ)}$调制之外，$pp$相关函数还表现出显著的$\cos{(3Δϕ)}$和$\cos{(4Δϕ)}$调制。与$n =$ $2$ - $4$的相关函数的$\cos{(nΔϕ)}$调制相关联的傅立叶系数$v_{n,n}$被测量为带电粒子多重性和带电粒子横向动量的函数。傅立叶系数被观察到与$\cos{(nϕ)}$调制的每事件单粒子的方位角分布是兼容的。测量的单粒子傅立叶系数$v_n$作为一个函数的带电粒子多重性，和带电粒子的横向动量$n {=} $ $2$ - $4$。本分析中使用的积分光度为$\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV $pp$数据的$64$ $\mathrm{nb^{-1}}$、$\sqrt{s}=5.02$ TeV $pp$数据的$170$ $\mathrm{nb^{-1}…
Local density fluctuations are expected to scale as a universal power-law when the system approaches critical point. Such power-law fluctuations are studied within the framework of intermittency through the measurement of normalized factorial moments in ($η$, $ϕ$) phase space. Observations and results from the intermittency analysis performed for charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions using PYTHIA8/Angantyr at 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV are reported. We observe no scaling behaviour in the particle generation for any of the centrality studied in narrow p$_T$ bins. The scaling exponent $ν$ shows no de…
The transverse structure of jets was studied via jet fragmentation transverse momentum ($j_{\rm{T}}$) distributions, obtained using two-particle correlations in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions, measured with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The highest transverse momentum particle in each event is used as the trigger particle and the region $3 < p_{\rm{Tt}} < 15$ GeV/$c$ is explored in this study. The measured distributions show a clear narrow Gaussian component and a wide non-Gaussian one. Based on Pythia simulations, the narrow component can be related to non-perturbative hadronizat…
The production of the $Λ$(1520) baryonic resonance has been measured at midrapidity in inelastic pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV for non-single diffractive events and in multiplicity classes. The resonance is reconstructed through its hadronic decay channel $Λ$(1520) $\rightarrow$ pK$^{-}$ and the charge conjugate with the ALICE detector. The integrated yields and mean transverse momenta are calculated from the measured transverse momentum distributions in pp and p-Pb collisions. The mean transverse momenta follow mass ordering as p…
Transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) spectra of charged particles at mid-pseudorapidity in Xe-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.44 TeV measured with the ALICE apparatus at the Large Hadron Collider are reported. The kinematic range $0.15 < p_{\rm T} < 50$ GeV/$c$ and $|η| < 0.8$ is covered. Results are presented in nine classes of collision centrality in the 0-80% range. For comparison, a pp reference at the collision energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.44 TeV is obtained by interpolating between existing \pp measurements at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 and 7 TeV. The nuclear modification factors in central Xe-…
