Abstract

The triply heavy baryons are very different in their mass. They are essentially Ωccc\Omega_{ccc}, Ωccb\Omega_{ccb}, Ωcbb\Omega_{cbb} and Ωbbb\Omega_{bbb} baryons which may be produced in a cc or a bb quark fragmentation. Here we briefly review the direct fragmentation production of these states and choose Ωccc\Omega_{ccc} and Ωbbb\Omega_{bbb} baryons as prototype of them to consider their production at the hadron colliders with different s\sqrt{s}. It becomes clear that their production cross sections fall within a rather diverse range according to s\sqrt{s}, minimum transverse momentum and rapidity. We present and compare transverse momentum distributions of the differential cross sections, pTminp_T^{\rm min} distributions of total cross sections and the integrated total cross sections for all triply heavy baryons at CERN LHC and simlar quantities for Ωccc\Omega_{ccc} and Ωbbb\Omega_{bbb} at RHIC, Tevatron Run II and the CERN LHC. While some of them possess considerable event rates even at RHIC proton-proton collider, others need much more energetic hadron collider with appropriate kinematical cuts to be produced.
