Transverse momentum (p T) spectra of charged particles at mid-pseudorapidity in Xe–Xe collisions at s NN= 5.44 TeV measured with the ALICE apparatus at the Large Hadron Collider are reported. The kinematic range 0.15< p T< 50 GeV/c and| η|< 0.8 is covered. Results are presented in nine classes of collision centrality in the 0–80% range. For comparison, a pp reference at the collision energy of s= 5.44 TeV is obtained by interpolating between existing pp measurements at s= 5.02 and 7 TeV. The nuclear modification factors in central Xe–Xe collisions and Pb–Pb collisions at a similar center-of-mass energy of s NN= 5.02 TeV, and in addition at 2.76 TeV, at analogous ranges of charged particle multiplicity density< d N ch/d η> show a remarkable similarity at p T> 10 GeV/c. The centrality dependence of the ratio of the average transverse momentum< p T> in Xe–Xe collisions over Pb–Pb collision at s= 5.02 TeV is compared to hydrodynamical model calculations.
