Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [Formula omitted] meson measurements provide insight into strangeness production, which is one of the key observables for the hot medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. ALICE measured [Formula omitted] production through its decay in muon pairs in Pb-Pb collisions at [Formula omitted] TeV in the intermediate transverse momentum range [Formula omitted] GeV/c and in the rapidity interval [Formula omitted]. The [Formula omitted] yield was measured as a function of the transverse momentum and collision centrality. The nuclear modification factor was obtained as a function of the average number of participating nucleons. Results were compared with the ones obtained via the kaon decay channel in the same [Formula omitted] range at midrapidity. The values of the nuclear modification factor in the two rapidity regions are in agreement within uncertainties.
