Wroblewski factor:
Using thermal model description with corresponding system formalism (canonical or grand-canonical), extrapolation is straightforward.
Data compilation using Becattini et al., PR C64 (2001) 024901, hep-ph/0002267 and references therein

Hadronization via coalescence at LHC energiesFries and Müller, EJP C34, S279 (2004)
Calculation implies assumption on transverse radial flow extrapolation
Amplitude for mixed ratio is the same at LHC than for RHIC but the limit is pushed to higher pT
Probing baryon/meson differences at LHC energies implies PID over a large pT range and ALICE is perfectly designed for this.
But first ALICE data will be elementary collisions check magnitude of this behaviour then assume
coalescence mechanisms if needed.

Fiducial volume and reconstruction strategies
Standard / extended fiducial volume leading to high purity / efficiency for strange particle reconstruction
Expected raw spectra extrapolated to 107 central events (first year Pb+Pb data).

PID Range of ALICE at mid−rapidityEstimates as in the Physics Performance Report Vol.II
for one year of Pb+Pb data-taking (central events)
107 central Pb+Pb events

Baryon/Meson pT ratio in p+p @ 630 and 1800 GeV Extracting mixed ratio from UA1 spectra (1996) and from CDF spectra (2005)
Ratio vs pT already surprisingly high in p+p data at high energies

Extrapolations and PYTHIA: p+p @ 14 TeV LHC extrapolation: “ATLAS tuning” min. bias and underlying event
Different sets of parameters (tuning) for LHC energies:a) extrapolation of Tevatron data (CDF tune A);b) data for jets and high-pT phenomena;
Low pT description implies specific treatment a) O.M.I (v6.2): different pars for und. event & min. bias first PYTHIA v6.2 description of soft domain @ LHC (different rescaling factor for und. event)b) N.M.I in PYTHIA 6.3: multiple part-part int. (+ i/fsr)
simulation samples: 1M p+p events
05/2006 Hot Quarks 2006 - Villasimius 11
PYTHIA Baryon/Meson pT ratio: p+p @ 14 TeV
Ratios and differences between min. bias and underlying event description
Checking uncertainty for parameters energy dependence: PYTHIA authors’ suggestions : 2~0.08 0.25
Comparison between ATLAS tuning and underlying event description
Little light/strange flavor dependence in this region Underlying event description needed/enough for production of hadrons in intermediate pT region ?

Recent extrapolation from the Les Houches Working Group
Major evolutions for LHC extrapolation: PYTHIA: v6.2 v6.3 New multiple interaction (N.M.I) treatment part.-part. interactions and i/fsr
PDF: CTEQ5 CTEQ6main change in gluon distribution function visible at low Q2
preprint hep-ph/0604120
Better but still missing a factor of ~2 wrt RHIC UA1 CDF extrapolations
investigating NLO contribution, baryon creation mechanisms (diquark, popcorn
scenario, and gluonic baryon junctions).

Conclusion
Using strangeness as a powerfull probe at LHC energies
with the PID capabilities of the ALICE experiment
a) Equilibrium vs non-equilibrium scenariob) Hadronization and coalescence validity at LHC
strange particles (specific probes and PID) !
First measurements of strange particles in p+p to obtain:
1) Interesting for studying baryon production mechanisms
2) Constrains for underlying event description3) Set references for Pb+Pb (mandatory)
WARNING: minimum bias trigger for p+p !

Hard/soft/min.bias CDF spectra: p+p @ 1800 GeV Extrapolation using CDF strange particle publication: PR D72 (2005) 052001
Main difference between preprint and final publication is a comparison with PYTHIA 6.216
After PYTHIA tuning with pions, the bottom line is min. bias spectra is close but K0s is slightly
overestimated
