  • Generic $pp$ collision events.

Transverse momentum spectra of neutral pions and $\eta$ mesons and the ratio $\pi^0/\eta$, obtained at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7\,$TeV with ALICE at the LHC. The transverse momentum spectrum of neutral pions is also given for $\sqrt{s} = 0.9\,$TeV.
