    abstract = "phi meson measurements provide insight into strangeness production,
which is one of the key observables for the hot medium formed in
high-energy heavy-ion collisions. ALICE measured phi production through
its decay in muon pairs in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV in
the intermediate transverse momentum range 2 < p(T) < 5 GeV/c and in the
rapidity interval 2.5 < y < 4. The f yield was measured as a function of
the transverse momentum and collision centrality. The nuclear
modification factor was obtained as a function of the average number of
participating nucleons. Results were compared with the ones obtained via
the kaon decay channel in the same pT range at midrapidity. The values
of the nuclear modification factor in the two rapidity regions are in
agreement within uncertainties."
