Description
ALICE is the LHC experiment dedicated to the study of heavy-ion collisions. The main purpose of ALICE is to investigate the properties of a new state of deconfined nuclear matter, the quark–gluon plasma. Resonance production in proton-proton collisions is interesting in itself and important as a baseline for heavy-ion studies.
The study of short lived resonances allows the investigation of the collision dynamics and of the properties of the hot and dense medium created in high energy collisions. Moreover it is interesting to address the topics of the strangeness production by the analysis of strange resonances. First measurements of the ϕ(1020), Σ*(1385), Λ*(1520), K*(892), Ξ*(1530) and doubly charged Δ(1232) resonances in pp collisions at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV will be presented. Thermal model predictions of particle ratios in proton-proton collisions will be shown.
