  2. Wroblewski factor extrapolation to LHC energies Wroblewski factor: Extrapolation at the LHC A+A ~0.45 p+p ~0.25 Data compilation using Becattini et al., PR C64 (2001) 024901, hep-ph/0002267 and references therein Using thermal model description with corresponding system formalism (canonical or grand-canonical), extrapolation is straightforward.

  5. Blast-Wave parameters <bT> and Tfo extrapolation Compilation from N. Xu Excitation functions of the radial flow velocity and the kinetic freeze-out temperature parameters for central Au+Au or Pb+Pb collisions.

  14. Fiducial volume and reconstruction strategies Standard / extended fiducial volume leading to high purity / efficiency for strange particle reconstruction RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  15. Simulation of hyperons in Pb+Pb R. Vernet et al. ALICE Internal Note 2005 - 042 b Expected L invariant mass distribution for 300 central HIJING simulated events. Expected raw spectra extrapolated to 107 central events (first year Pb+Pb data). W L RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  16. PID Range of ALICE at mid−rapidity Estimates as in the Physics Performance Report Vol.II for one year of Pb+Pb data-taking (central events) 107 central Pb+Pb events RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  17. Hadronization via coalescence at LHC energies Fries and Müller, EJP C34, S279 (2004) Amplitude for mixed ratio is the same at LHC than for RHIC but the limit is pushed to higher pT Calculation implies assumption on transverse radial flow extrapolation But first ALICE data will be elementary collisions a check magnitude of this behaviour then assume coalescence mechanisms if needed. Probing baryon/meson differences at LHC energies implies PID over a large pT range and ALICE is perfectly designed for this. RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  18. Simulation of hyperons in p+p L. Gaudichet et al. ALICE Internal Note 2005 - 041 Reconstruction rates for different multiplicity regimes (soft / hard) Expected raw spectra extrapolated to 109 events (first year p+p data). X Baryon over meson ratio in p+p collisions (gluonic baryon junction). RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  19. Mixed ratio @ UA1: p+p @ 630 GeV Extracting mixed ratio from 1996 UA1 strange particle data Ratio vs pT already surprisingly high in p+p data at high energies RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  20. Hard/soft/min.bias spectra @ CDF: p+p @ 1800 GeV Extrapolation using CDF strange particle publication: PR D72 (2005) 052001  Main difference between preprint and final publication is a comparison with PYTHIA 6.216 After PYTHIA tuning with pions, the bottom line is min. bias L spectra is close but K0s is slightly overestimated RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  21. Mixed ratio @ CDF: p+p @ 1800 GeV Extracting mixed ratio from 2005 CDF strange particle data Ratio vs pT slightly lower but compatible within errors RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  22. Mixed ratio using PYTHIA: p+p @ 14 TeV Simulation used for PPR analysis by L. Gaudichet Extrapolation of the main behaviours from RHIC, UA1 and CDF data is currently being investigated. • This feature is not observed in default PYTHIA at 14 TeV: • Going from LO to NLO may help getting the magnitude; • 2) Other ingredients may be needed to get the shape. RIKEN-BNL Research Center Workshop - BNL

  23. Conclusion • Using strangeness as a powerfull probe at LHC energies • with the PID capabilities of the ALICE experiment • a) equilibrium vs non-equilibrium scenario • b) kinetic freeze-out of multi-strange particles • c) hadronization and coalescence validity at LHC • a strange particles (specific probes and PID) ! • First measurements of strange particles in p+p to extract: • 1) interesting for baryon creation mechanisms • 2) references for Pb+Pb mandatory • WARNING: minimum bias trigger for p+p !
