Simulation Study on Light Vector Meson Decays to Electron-Positron Pairs with the ALICE Experiment
Simulation study on <i>ω, φ, ρ </i>decays to <i>e</i><sup><i>+</i></sup><i>e</i>ˉ<i> </i>pairs in the ALICE detector for Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energy was performed. The possibility of selecting resonance signals over the combinatorial backgrounds is demonstrated using the realistic simulation tracking and particle identification algorithms of the ALICE offline framework (AliRoot). Results for <i>J/ψ </i>are presented also for comparison.
