BEACH 2010 - IX International Conference on Hyperons, Charm and Beauty Hadrons

First measurements of strange baryons and anti-baryons with the ALICE experiment in pp collisions at LHC

Not scheduled

Aula Magna (Great Hall) (University of Perugia, Italy)

Speaker

Dr Renaud Vernet (CC-IN2P3)

Description

The status of strange baryon and anti-baryon analysis in pp collisions at LHC is reported. It is based on ALICE pp data collected at sqrt(s)= 900 GeV and 7 TeV. The performance of Lambda (anti-Lambda), Xi (anti-Xi) and Omega (anti-Omega) reconstruction via their weak decay topology is described. Global yields and transverse momentum spectra extracted at central rapidity are presented.
