Abstract: (Springer)
The transverse momentum distributions of the strange and double-strange hyperon resonances ( Σ(1385)±\Sigma (1385)^{\pm } , Ξ(1530)0\Xi (1530)^{0} ) produced in p–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}= 5.02 TeV were measured in the rapidity range 0.5<yCMS<0-0.5< y_\mathrm {CMS}<0 for event classes corresponding to different charged-particle multiplicity densities, \langle d NchN_{\mathrm{ch}} /d ηlab\eta _{\mathrm{lab}}\rangle . The mean transverse momentum values are presented as a function of \langle d NchN_{\mathrm{ch}} /d ηlab\eta _{\mathrm{lab}}\rangle , as well as a function of the particle masses and compared with previous results on hyperon production. The integrated yield ratios of excited to ground-state hyperons are constant as a function of \langle d NchN_{\mathrm{ch}} /d ηlab\eta _{\mathrm{lab}}\rangle . The equivalent ratios to pions exhibit an increase with \langle d NchN_{\mathrm{ch}} /d ηlab\eta _{\mathrm{lab}}\rangle , depending on their strangeness content.
