Abstract

The ALICE experiment at CERN is devoted to study hadronic matter at extreme conditions of temperature, energy density and its phase transition to QGP. The φ(1020)-meson is a good probe for studying the features of the quarkgluon plasma. The ALICE detectors will identify particles at high momenta. In particular the HMPID would identify kaons with 1 ≤ p ≤ 3 GeV/c, therefore it will be possible to identify φ-mesons through the channel φ → K+K− up to 6 GeV/c. In this paper will be shown the physical motivations for the study of φ-meson and its invariant mass spectrum.
