Description
"Low-mass dielectrons are an important probe for the hot and dense medium which is created in
ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Since leptons do not interact strongly, they carry
information from all collision stages with negligible final state interaction. While pp collisions
provide a reference measurement for a medium-free environment, the impact of cold nuclear matter
effects on the dielectron characteristics can be studied in p-Pb collisions. \\
The latest results of the dielectron measurements at mid-rapidity in minimum bias p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}
=5.02$ TeV with the ALICE detector will be presented. The dielectron invariant
mass and transverse momentum distributions will be compared to expectations from hadronic sources."
