Abstract

The ratios of yields of anti-baryons to baryons probes the mechanisms of baryon-number transport. Results for p/p, /, + /− and + /− in pp collisions at √s = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV, measured with the ALICE detector at the LHC, are reported. Within the experimental uncertainties and ranges covered by our measurement, these ratios are independent of rapidity, transverse momentum and multiplicity for all measured energies. The results are compared to expectations from event generators, such as PYTHIA and HIJING/B, that are used to model the par- ticle production in pp collisions. The energy dependence of p/p, /, + /− and + /− , reaching values compatible with unity for √s = 7 TeV, complement the earlier p/p measurement of ALICE. These dependencies can be de- scribed by exchanges with the Regge-trajectory intercept of αJ ≈ 0.5, which are suppressed with increasing rapidity interval Dy. Any significant contribution of an exchange not suppressed at large Dy (reached at LHC energies) is disfavoured.
