Charmed meson and baryon measurements in pp and p-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper reports recent measurements of charmed mesons and baryons in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions at the LHC by the ALICE experiment, providing insights into heavy-flavour production.

Contribution

It presents new experimental data on open heavy-flavour hadron production in different collision systems at the LHC, expanding understanding of charm quark behavior.

Findings

Measurement of D-meson production at 7 TeV

Observation of $ m \Lambda_c^+$ and $ m \\Xi_c^0$ baryons in p-Pb collisions

Comparison of results with theoretical models

Abstract

We present here recent open heavy-flavour results from the ALICE experiment, including measurements of D-meson, $\mathrm{\Lambda_{c}^{+}}$ baryon and $\mathrm{\Xi_c^0}$ baryon production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$ and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 5.02~\mathrm{TeV}$.
