## TL;DR

This study measures the production and transverse momentum distributions of strange hyperon resonances in p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, revealing how yields and ratios vary with event multiplicity and strangeness content.

## Contribution

It provides new measurements of hyperon resonance production in p-Pb collisions, analyzing their dependence on multiplicity and comparing with previous hyperon production results.

## Key findings

- Mean transverse momentum increases with charged-particle multiplicity.
- Yield ratios of excited to ground hyperons remain constant across multiplicities.
- Ratios to pions increase with multiplicity depending on strangeness content.

## Abstract

The transverse momentum distributions of the strange and double-strange hyperon resonances ($\Sigma(1385)^{\pm}$, $\Xi(1530)^{0}$) produced in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV were measured in the rapidity range $-0.5< y_{\rm{CMS}}<0$ for event classes corresponding to different charged-particle multiplicity densities, $\langle{\rm d}N_{\rm{ch}}/{\rm d}\eta_{\rm{lab}}\rangle$. The mean transverse momentum values are presented as a function of $\langle{\rm d}N_{\rm{ch}}/{\rm d}\eta_{\rm{lab}}\rangle$, as well as a function of the particle masses and compared with previous results on hyperon production. The integrated yield ratios of excited to ground-state hyperons are constant as a function of $\langle{\rm d}N_{\rm{ch}}/{\rm d}\eta_{\rm{lab}}\rangle$. The equivalent ratios to pions exhibit an increase with $\langle{\rm d}N_{\rm{ch}}/{\rm d}\eta_{\rm{lab}}\rangle$, depending on their strangeness content.
