Description

Measurements of particle production in high-multiplicity pp collisions are crucial for the understanding of the collective-like features observed in small systems and reminiscent of those present in heavy-ion collisions. The ALICE detector, with its excellent tracking and particle identification capabilities, provides unique possibilities for the systematic study of light-flavour hadrons at the LHC. In this work we report on the minimum bias and multiplicity-dependent production of pions, kaons and protons in pp collisions at 7 and 13 TeV. Results include transverse momentum ($\rm p_{\rm T}$) spectra, average $\rm p_{\rm T}$ and yield ratios. These measurements serve as a necessary baseline for the study of the multiplicity-dependent enhancement of multi-strange particle production in small systems.
