"Identified particle production in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions measured with ALICE at the LHC energies"

The ALICE detector has excellent Particle IDentification (PID) capabilities
in the central barrel ($\lvert \eta \rvert$ $<$ 0.9). This allows hadron
production to be measured over a wide transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) range,
based on several sub-detectors and techniques. The particles are identified
by one or more of; their specific energy loss (d$E$/d$x$), the time of
flight, the Cherenkov angle or their characteristic weak decay topology.
Results on identified particle spectra and production yield ratios at
mid-rapidity measured by ALICE in different colliding systems (pp, p-Pb and
Pb-Pb) will be presented and the similarities
among them will be discussed. For Pb-Pb collisions the nuclear modification
factor as a function of $p_{T}$ will be shown for different collision
centralities.
