Midrapidity antiproton-to-proton ratio in pp collisons at √s=0.9 and 7 TeV measured by the ALICE experiment

The ratio of the yields of antiprotons to protons in pp collisions has been measured by the ALICE experiment at √s=0.9 and 7 TeV during the initial running periods of the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement covers the transverse momentum interval 0.45<pt<1.05 GeV/c and rapidity |y|<0.5....

Description
Summary:The ratio of the yields of antiprotons to protons in pp collisions has been measured by the ALICE experiment at √s=0.9 and 7 TeV during the initial running periods of the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement covers the transverse momentum interval 0.45<pt<1.05 GeV/c and rapidity |y|<0.5. The ratio is measured to be R|y|<0.5=0.957±0.006(stat)±0.014(syst) at 0.9 TeV and R|y|<0.5=0.991±0.005(stat)±0.014(syst) at 7 TeV and it is independent of both rapidity and transverse momentum. The results are consistent with the conventional model of baryon-number transport and set stringent limits on any additional contributions to baryon-number transfer over very large rapidity intervals in pp collisions.
