Description
A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) has been designed for the study of
strongly interacting matter created in heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies.
The measurement of heavy-flavour hadron production cross-sections in high
energy proton-proton collisions provides interesting insights into QCD processes
and is important as a reference for heavy-ion studies.
In ALICE, the production of several charm hadron species can be studied, at
central rapidity and down to very low pt, using particle identification and
secondary vertex reconstruction techniques.
We present the status of the charmed baryon Lambda_c analysis in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV in the decay modes Lambda_c→ pKpi and Lambda_c→ K0Sp.
