System size and energy dependence of resonance production in ALICE

TL;DR

This paper investigates how resonance production varies with system size and energy in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, providing insights into the hadronic phase and particle interactions after hadronization.

Contribution

It presents new measurements of various resonance particles across different collision systems and energies, enhancing understanding of the hadronic phase in heavy-ion collisions.

Findings

Resonance yields depend on system size and energy.

Resonance production patterns reveal information about the hadronic phase.

Results help distinguish between rescattering and regeneration effects.

Abstract

Hadronic resonances, thanks to their relatively short lifetimes, can be used to probe the properties of the hadronic phase in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. In particular their lifetimes are exploited to investigate the interplay between particle rescattering and regeneration after hadronization. In this contribution we present recent results on $\rho(770)^0$, $K^{*}$(892), $\phi$(1020), $\Sigma$(1385)$^{\pm}$, $\Xi(1530)^{0}$ and $\Lambda(1520)$ production in pp, p$-$Pb, Pb$-$Pb and Xe$-$Xe collisions at LHC energies.
