(anti-)3He inelastic interaction cross-section per averaged chemical element over ALICE detector material between the outer wall of the TPC and the TOF detector (< Z > = 16.1, < A > = 34.7) measured in Pb-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV using TPC-TOF matching method. Green and yellow bands correspond to ±1 and ±2 sigma constraints of (anti-)3He inelastic cross-section for ALICE experimental data, black dashed line shows Geant4 parameterisation.
