Description
The neutral pion yield is measured with ALICE by reconstructing photons
via their conversion into e+e- pairs. Transverse momentum spectra are
presented for pp and PbPb collisions as well as the resulting nuclear
modification factor R_AA. The pi0 yield is studied as a function of the
emission angle w.r.t. the reaction plane. At high transverse momentum
this provides insights into the path-length dependence of jet-quenching.
In addition, the reaction plane dependence of the nuclear modification
factor R_AA is presented.
