 Fit to the MEB-subtracted Xi&pi Invariant mass distributions for the Xi*0 signal extraction in Pb-Pb collisions in 0-10% centrality class. The distributions correspond to the p_{T} range of the resonance 3.0-3.5 GeV/c. The Voigtian fit function is done for signal and first order polynomial fit function is used for residual background.
