Measurements of $\Lambda^{+}_{c}$ production in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with ALICE

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) has been designed to study the strongly interacting medium created in heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies, the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). Heavy quarks (charm and beauty), produced in the early stages of the collisions, are among the most powerful probes to study this state of matter. We report about the charmed baryon Λ+ c measurement in pp collisions at √ s = 7TeV with the ALICE experiment, through the reconstruction of the decay channels Λ+ c → pK − π+ and Λ+ c → p ¯K 0 (and charge conjugates).
