摘要:Event-by-Event (E-by-E) uctuations are one of the main dynamical probes of the phase transition
from ordinary hadronic matter to a plasma of quarks and gluons, which is expected to
occur in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this article, the results of a study concerning the
observability of E-by-E uctuations for the ALICE experiment at the LHC collider at CERN is
presented. In particular, an estimate of the ALICE E-by-E statistical sensitivity in the measurement
of the mean transverse momentum of charged hadrons, of the inverse slope parameter from
the hadron transverse momentum spectra, and of their particle ratios is discussed. The analysis
relies on the excellent performance of ALICE in terms of particle identication.
