Measurement of prompt D0, Λ+c, and Σ0,++c (2455) production in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV

The pT-differential production cross sections of prompt D0, Λ+c, and Σ0,c(2455) charmed hadrons are measured at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV. This is the first measurement of Σ0,++c production in hadronic collisions. Assuming the same production yield for the three Σ0,+,++c...

Description
Summary:The pT-differential production cross sections of prompt D0, Λ+c, and Σ0,c(2455) charmed hadrons are measured at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV. This is the first measurement of Σ0,++c production in hadronic collisions. Assuming the same production yield for the three Σ0,+,++c isospin states, the baryon-to-meson cross section ratios Σ0,+,++c/D0 and Λ+c/D0 are calculated in the transverse momentum (pT) intervals 2<pT<12 and 1<pT<24 GeV/c. Values significantly larger than in e+e− collisions are observed, indicating for the first time that baryon enhancement in hadronic collisions also extends to the Σc. The feed-down contribution to Λ+c production from Σ0,+,++c is also reported and is found to be larger than in e+e− collisions. The data are compared with predictions from event generators and other phenomenological models, providing a sensitive test of the different charm-hadronization mechanisms implemented in the models.
