Description

At the end of 2016 the ALICE detector, installed at the LHC, collected p-Pb data at a center of mass energy equal to $\sqrt[]{s_\textrm{\tiny{NN}}} =$~8.16 TeV.
These data represent an important chance to test the emergence of possible initial state effects, by comparing the spectra of identified light hadrons extracted in this dataset to the ones measured in previous pp and Pb-Pb data in a wide transverse momentum range.
In this poster, the first results on transverse momentum spectra for identified $\pi$, $K$ and p at $\sqrt[]{s_\textrm{\tiny{NN}}}=$~8.16 TeV measured through the capabilities of the ALICE \textrm{ITS}, \textrm{TPC} and \textrm{TOF} systems will be presented.
This analysis has been performed at midrapidity over a wide transverse-momenta range (100~MeV/$c$~$<$~\ensuremath{p_{\rm T}}~$<$~20~GeV/$c$) for different multiplicity classes ranging from central to peripheral ones.
