description ALICE is one of the main experiments at CERN and its goal is to analyse the physics of strongly interacting matter at the highest energy densities reached in the laboratory. In such conditions, a phase of matter - the quark-gluon plasma - is predicted to be formed. Studying this primordial state, in which quarks and gluons are deconfined i.e. they are freed from their strong interaction over long distances, will allow us to understand better how matter is organized and how the confinement and asymptotic freedom work. For this purpose hadrons, electrons, muons and photons generated in heavy nuclei collisions (es Pb) and proton-proton collisions are studied. In these hadronic collisions, when hard parton scattering processes occur with large momentum transfer, heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are produced . They traverse the medium while interacting with its constituents, thus experiencing its full evolution. Therefore, heavy quarks are ideal probes to investigate the properties of the QGP.\\ The aim of this report is the study of the reconstruction performances of ALICE3 detectors (implemented in the $O^{2}$ software) for the $\Lambda_{c}$ particle. In particular, the significance and the signal to background ratio with and without particle identification.
