Description

The transverse momentum distributions (pT) of charged particles and identied hadrons in p-Pb collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 5.02 TeV have been measured by ALICE at the LHC. Charged-particle tracks are reconstructed at mid-rapidity over a large momentum range 0.15 < pT < 50 GeV/c. Light-flavoured hadrons and resonances are identied in the various momentum ranges from 0.15 GeV/c up to 15 GeV/c by using specic energy loss (dE/dx), time-of-flight, topological particle-identication and invariant-mass reconstruction techniques. pT spectra are measured in the charged particle multiplicity intervals. Results from p{Pb collisions will be presented and compared with pp and Pb-Pb results and confronted with theoretical models.
