Production of pions, kaons and protons in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 900~\mathrm{GeV}$ with ALICE at the LHC
The production of $\pi^+$, $\pi^-$, $K^+$, $K^-$, p, and pbar at mid-rapidity has been measured in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 900$ GeV with the ALICE detector. Particle identification is performed using the specific energy loss in the inner tracking silicon detector and the time projection chamber. In addition, time-of-flight …
