In this public note, we specify what we mean by the term``primary particle''. The definition is
motivated by what is in principle measurable by ALICE and that event generators and other
such theoretical considerations must be able to reproduce the same requirements. To this
end, we also provide a Rivet projection to be used in ALICE Rivet analyses.
