Study of charm hadronization with prompt Λ+c baryons in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions at √𝑠NN = 5.02 TeV by Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Escalante Del Valle, A., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Lechner, L., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Paulitsch, P., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R.

“…The production of prompt Λ c + $$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+} $$ baryons is measured via the exclusive decay channel Λ c + → p K − π + $$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+}\to p{\textrm{K}}^{-}{\pi}^{+} $$ at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV, using proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (PbPb) collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The pp and PbPb data were obtained in 2017 and 2018 with integrated luminosities of 252 and 0.607 nb−1, respectively. …”
