  7. J/+- and detection in ALICE Muon pairs will be detected in the ALICE forward muon spectrometer in the pseudorapidity interval 2.5 <  <4 and with the mass resolutions about 70 (100) MeV/c2 for J/(). The simulation was carried out for 10% more central Pb-Pb events by the fast code including acceptance cuts and detector efficiencies and resolutions. The statistics corresponds to the one month running time at the luminosity of 51026cm-2s-1. 2.3 105 J  at S/B = 0.72, 1800   at S/B = 7.1, 540   at S/B = 2.5, 260   at S/B = 1.5. All other muon sources (the decays of , K, D, B) were included in the simulation. The trigger cut for muon pt > 1.0 GeV/c was used. Effective mass spectra of () pairs

  8. J/ e+ e-detection in ALICE To study J/e+e- (at || < 1) the TRD and TPC will be used. To find the suppression factor the comparison with a production of opencharm particles is supposed (selection of Drell-Yan process is problematical). The preliminary simulation was done for 5105 Pb-Pb central events using the TRD for electron identification. . J/ J/ S/B = 0.5 (e+e-) J/ production at 2.5 < pt < 4 GeV/c (e+e-) J/ production from B meson decay (must be taken into account because they are not suppressed)

  9. Light vector mesons production (, ,  ) The predictions are: --The enhancement of  yield ( N/(N+N) ) in central Pb-Pb events as compared to p-p and p-A interactions: up to factor 10 because the supression of Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka rule and a large abundance of strange quarks in the QGP, (A.Shor. Phys.Rev.Lett. 54 (1985) 1122). up to factors 3-4 because the secondary collisions in the nuclear matter (if QGP is not reached). (P.Koch et al. Z.Phys. C 47 (1990) 477). The experimental result is 3.0±0.7 for Pb-Pb at Ebeam=158 A GeV (NA-49, CERN, SPS). -- The decrease of  and  masses by factor up to 150 MeV /c2(M.Asakava and S.M.Ko, 1994) because of partial chiral symmetry restoration during the first-order phase transition to the QGP or to the mixed phase (preQGP) according to the conception of A.N.Sysakyan, A.S.Sorin and G.M.Zinoviev. The experiment shows an evidence for the  mass shift at the SPS (NA45). .

  10. Light vector mesons production(, ,  ) (theory & experiment) --The increase of  width by factor 2-3 because of: - Decrease of kaon mass as a consequence of chiral symmetry restoration near the temperature of phase transition to QGP. (D.Lissauer and E.Shuryak. Phys.Lett. B 253 (1991) 15) --Rescattering of kaons from  decays in the hot and dense nuclear matter. (C.Jonson et al. Phys. Journ. C 18 (2001) 645) The effect may be seen in ALICE by studing of K+K- decays or by comparison of this decay mode with the e+e-. There is no experimental evidence for this effect. But 30% difference was found in the slope of pt spectra for  meson obtained from (K+K-) or (+-) decay modes (in the Pb-Pb at 158 A GeV, CERN SPS). This effect may be explained by the rescattering of kaons in the nuclear matter.

  11. Light vector mesons detection in ALICE To detect the e+e- and e+e- decays the ITS, TPC and TRD of ALICE will be used for tracking and particle identificatuon. The simulation was done for the ITS, TPC and TRD using the GEANT-3, HIJING model and the last experimental data . The particles at p > 1 GeV/c and in the acceptance of all detectors were included to the analysis. .   (Preliminary)  After the specials cut (S/B = 0.2)  For 3 106 Pb-Pb central events (one month ALICE run)

  12. Light vector mesons detction in ALICE To study theK+K-decays the ITS, TPC and TOF were applied for the simulation To select the resonance peaks from the combinatorial background the cuts were used for pt of (K+K-) pair. .

  17. Momentum correlations (HBT) To study particle correlations the ITS, TPC, TOF and TRD of ALICE will be used for tracking and particle identification. The simulation was done for the ITS, TPC and TOF using the GEANT code. Influence of particles identification and resolutions effects in ALICE detectors: TPC, ITS, TOF on correlation functions was studied using HIJING model and Lednitsky’s algorithm for calculation of particle correlations.
