The anti-Λ/Λ and anti-Λ/K0S production ratios are measured by the LHCb detector from 0.3 nb^−1 of pp collisions delivered by the LHC at √s = 0.9 TeV and 1.8 nb^−1 at √s = 7 TeV.

The ratio anti-Λ/Λ, measuring the transport of baryon number from the collision into the detector, is smaller in data than predicted in simulation, particularly at high rapidity.

Abstract

The anti-Λ/Λ and anti-Λ/K0S production ratios are measured by the LHCb detector from 0.3 nb^−1 of pp collisions delivered by the LHC at √s = 0.9 TeV and 1.8 nb^−1 at √s = 7 TeV. Both ratios are presented as a function of transverse momentum, pT, and rapidity, y, in the ranges 0.15 < pT < 2.50 GeV/c and 2.0 < y < 4.5. Results at the two energies are in good agreement as a function of rapidity loss, Δy = ybeam − y, and are consistent with previous measurements. The ratio anti-Λ/Λ, measuring the transport of baryon number from the collision into the detector, is smaller in data than predicted in simulation, particularly at high rapidity. The ratio anti-Λ/K0S, measuring the baryon-to-meson suppression in strange quark hadronisation, is significantly larger than expected.
