Abstract: (Elsevier)
The production of charged pions, kaons and (anti)protons has been measured at mid-rapidity ( −0.510 GeV/c ), the particle ratios are consistent with those reported for pp and Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC energies. At intermediate pT the (anti)proton RpPb shows a Cronin-like enhancement, while pions and kaons show little or no nuclear modification. At high pT the charged pion, kaon and (anti)proton RpPb are consistent with unity within statistical and systematic uncertainties.
