Abstract

The asymmetries in the forward region production cross section of Lambda_c^+/Lambda_c^- and Lambda_b^0/\bar{Lambda}_b^0 are predicted using the heavy quark recombination mechanism for pp collisions at 7 TeV and 14 TeV. Using non-perturbative parameters determined from various previous experiments, we find that A_p(Lambda_c^+/Lambda_c^-) ~ 1-2% and A_p(Lambda_b^0/\bar{Lambda}_b^0) ~ 1-3% in the forward region covered by the LHCb experiment.
