# Charm baryon production in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC

## TL;DR

This paper presents recent ALICE measurements of charmed baryon production in proton-proton, proton-lead, and lead-lead collisions at the LHC, highlighting new results in heavy-ion environments and comparisons with theoretical models.

## Contribution

It provides the first measurement of Lambda_c+ baryon production in Pb-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, expanding understanding of charm baryon behavior in quark-gluon plasma.

## Key findings

- Lambda_c+ production measured in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions.
- Comparison with theoretical models shows discrepancies.
- Enhanced Lambda_c+ production in Pb-Pb collisions observed.

## Abstract

In this contribution, the latest ALICE results on charmed baryon production are presented. In particular the measurements of $\Lambda_{\rm c}^{+}$-baryon production in pp collisions at ${\sqrt{\rm s}}$ = 5.02 TeV and in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{\rm s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV are shown and compared with previous measurements performed using pp and p-Pb data samples collected during LHC Run 1. At mid-rapidity charmed baryons are reconstructed via their hadronic decay and semileptonic decay channels, exploiting the high precision tracking, excellent vertexing and particle identification capabilities offered by the ALICE detector. The first measurement of $\Lambda_{\rm c}^{+}$-baryon production in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{\rm s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV is also shown. Results are compared with theoretical expectations.
