Neutral meson production in pp and p-Pb collisions measured with ALICE calorimeters — •Fabian Pliquett for the ALICE collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt

ALICE as the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the LHC is designed to investigate the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. The measurement of neutral meson production complements other measurements of identified particles in the experiment. pp and p-Pb collisions function as control experiments to facilitate a better understanding of particle production in heavy-ion collisions.

PHOS and EMCal, the electromagnetic calorimeters of the experiment, measure the energy and position of photons and therefore allow for the reconstruction of neutral mesons via their two-photon decay channel.

The status of the neutral meson measurement in pp and p-Pb collisions with the ALICE PHOS and EMCal will be presented.
