Description

Short-lived resonances play an important role to understand the mechanism of particle production and the hadronic phase properties of heavy-ion collisions. Resonance yields are modified due to the interaction of their decay daughters within the hadronic medium via the processes like re-scattering and regeneration. p-Pb collision is a suitable system to study the multiplicity dependence of the resonance yields modification, in the range of multiplicities between pp and peripheral heavy-ion collisions like Pb-Pb and Xe-Xe. It also helps us in understanding the cold nuclear matter effects such as the Cronin enhancement and nuclear shadowing.

We report on the measurement of K$^{*\pm}$ production in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{\it{s}_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 and 8.16 TeV in rapidity range -0.5 $< y <$ 0. The results include the transverse momentum spectra, integrated yields and mean transverse momenta. We will also present the nuclear modification factor in p-Pb collisions. These results will be compared with results from lower energy experiments and the available model predictions.
