Dielectron production in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions at √sNN=5.02TeV
2020
The first measurements of dielectron production at midrapidity (|ηe| < 0.8) in proton–proton and proton–lead collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV at the LHC are presented. The dielectron cross section is measured with the ALICE detector as a function of the invariant mass mee and the pair transverse momentum pT, ee in the ranges mee < 3.5 GeV/c2 and pT, ee < 8 GeV/c, in both collision systems. In proton–proton collisions, the charm and beauty cross sections are determined at midrapidity from a fit to the data with two different event generators. This complements the existing dielectron measurements performed at √s = 7 and 13 TeV. The slope of the √s dependence of the three measurements is…
Measurement of dielectron production in central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
2019
The first measurement of dielectron ( e + e − ) production in central ( 0 – 10 % ) Pb–Pb collisions at √ s NN = 2.76 TeV at the LHC is presented. The dielectron invariant-mass spectrum is compared to the expected contributions from hadron decays in the invariant-mass range 0 < m ee < 3.5 GeV / c 2 . The ratio of data and the cocktail of hadronic contributions without vacuum ρ 0 is measured in the invariant-mass range 0.15 < m ee < 0.7 GeV / c 2 , where an excess of dielectrons is observed in other experiments, and its value is 1.40 ± 0.28 ( stat . ) ± 0.08 ( syst . ) ± 0.27 ( cocktail ) . The dielectron spectrum measured in the invariant mass range 0 < m ee < 1 GeV / c 2 is consistent with …
