Figure Caption

Proton identification with TPC (left) and TOF (right) in p–Pb collisions. The discriminating PID variable nσ (see text for details) is shown as a function of the momentum p of the particle. The nσ variable is computed assuming the proton hypothesis. The contributions from electrons and pions in the TPC and from kaons in the TOF are indicated.
