Resonances which decay into strongly inte- racting hadrons may not be reconstructed due to rescattering of daughters inside the system.
The study of such resonances may also probe the role of the rescattering phase between chemical freeze-out and kinetic freeze-out (regeneration mechanism)
Finally, the study of K*(892) is also interesting due to its strange quark content.
Combined measurements of K*(892) and mesons are particularly useful in this respect.

We used AliEn used both for production, reconstruction and analysis of pp events for the reconstruction of the k*(892)0
AliEn is the ALICE implementation of a distributed computing infrastructure.
• 1% native code, 99% Open Source packages and perl modules
• used over about 30 sites
• during last years 16,000 jobs have been succesfully run uner AliEn and more than 20TB of data produced

The true combinations (left) are e embedded in a large combinatorial background and there is a strong contamination from other resonances, overall ρ(770) and ω(782).

Cuts used:• Armenteros:
-0.12<α<0.67 0.25<qT<0.33• p pos track p > 1.6 GeV/c
With these cuts we obtain S/B=0.06. To extract the signal we need to use the mixed events techiques.M=895±2 Γ=59±11

Conclusions and outlookConclusions and outlook We carried out a detailed simulation study of
K*(892)0 in pp collisions at 14 TeV in the c.m.s. The two extreme hypotheses have been considered
as far as particle identification is concerned Even without PID and with a no so large amount of
events K*(892)0 study is feasible in ALICE AliEn has been successfully used both for
production and analysis
To be done: Increase statistics profitting by next ALICE
production (ADC will start at the beginning of 2004) Check how PID will affect the pp results

Transverse mass spectrum, yields and particle ratios extracted from the data.
Results from STAR point out that no reduction of such resonance is observed in AA collisions despite expected losses due to rescattering effects.
