The first measurement of and differential production with respect to transverse momentum and centrality in Pb–Pb collisions at TeV is presented. The has been reconstructed via its two-charged-body decay channel, i.e., . A Blast-Wave model fit of the -differential spectra of all nuclear species measured by the ALICE collaboration suggests that the kinetic freeze-out surface is consistent with that of other nuclei. The ratio between the integrated yields of and is compared to predictions from the statistical hadronisation model and the coalescence model, with the latter being favoured by the presented measurements.
