Abstract
The ALICE experiment at the LHC has measured low mass dielectrons in pp collisions at s=7 TeV and p-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV to study and disentangle effects due to the cold nuclear matter. Recently, ALICE measured low mass dielectron mass spectra for different pair pT ranges in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV for the study of the properties of the hot and dense medium. In this paper, the status of the low-mass dielectron measurements in all collision systems produced at the LHC is summarized and the production of low mass dielectrons including virtual photons is discussed. Future prospects of the low-mass dielectron measurements in ALICE at the LHC Run3 and Run4 will be discussed.
