Multiplicity dependence of light flavour hadron production at LHC energies in the strangeness canonical suppression picture

Abstract

We present an analysis of data on light flavour hadron production as function of event multiplicity at LHC energies measured by the ALICE collaboration. The strangeness-canonical approach within the framework of the THERMUS statistical hadronisation model is used for a simultaneous description of pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions. The rapidity window dependence of the strangeness correlation volume is addressed and a value of $\Delta y = 1.33 \pm 0.28$ is found. With the exception of the $\phi$-meson, an excellent description of the experimental data is found.
