Studying charm-quark hadronization via charm-baryon production measurements in pp collisions at the LHC with ALICE

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate charm-quark hadronization through the production of charm baryons in proton-proton collisions.
• Measured various charm-baryons including Ξc0,+ and Λc+, ∑c0,++ in pp collisions at 13.6 TeV.
• Analyzed the cross-section ratio of different charm-baryon states and their angular correlations.
• First measurements of ∑c0,++(2520)/∑c0,++(2455) cross-section ratio reported.
• Λc+ −p angular correlation data provided new insights into baryon production.
