Abstract
The differential yield of strange mesons \( (K_{s}^{0} ,\phi ) \) and singly and doubly strange baryons (Λ, \( \bar{\varLambda } \) and Ξ) in pp collision at 0.9 TeV in the transverse momentum (pT) ranging from 0.1 to 3.5 GeV/c and in the rapidity region of |y| <0.75 is reported. The spectra obtained by Monte Carlo simulations with event generators: EPOS 1.99, EPOS-LHC, HIJING 1.38, QGSJETII-04 and Sibyll2.3c, are compared with the ALICE measurements. For \( K_{s}^{0} \), EPOS-LHC, Sibyll2.3c and QGSJETII-04 models’ predictions are closer to the experimental data at low pT. For Λ and \( \bar{\varLambda } \), EPOS 1.99 and QGSJETII-04 predict in some of the pT regions, while only EPOS 1.99 model predicts well the Ξ spectra. QGSJETII-04 and Sibyll2.3c predict well the distribution of \( \phi \) mesons at high pT. For Λ/\( K_{s}^{0} \), only QGSJETII-04 predicts the ratio very well. Although the models are qualitatively compatible with the data, none of them predict all the distributions over the entire pT range.
