Abstract

We investigate the production of Ωccc\Omega_{ccc} baryon in high energy nuclear collisions via quark coalescence mechanism. The wave function of Ωccc\Omega_{ccc} is solved from the Schr\"odinger equation for the bound state of three charm quarks by using the hyperspherical method. The production cross section of Ωccc\Omega_{ccc} per binary collision in a central Pb+Pb collision at sNN=2.76\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV reaches 9 nb, which is at least two orders of magnitude larger than that in a p+p collision at the same energy. Therefore, it is most probable to discover Ωccc\Omega_{ccc} in heavy ion collisions at LHC, and the observation will be a clear signature of the quark-gluon plasma formation.
