Description

We study the $\Lambda_c/D$ ratio and $p/\phi$ at RHIC and LHC within a realistic implementation of coalescence model.
The evolution of the partonic stage is described by the relativistic Boltzmann equation tuned at a fixed shear-viscosity to entropy-density ratio $\eta/s$ and a realistic equation of state.
Such an approach recovers the universal features of the ideal hydrodynamics.
In a coalescence plus independent fragmentation approach we calculate the $p_T$ spectra and anisotropic flows $v_n$ of the main hadrons:
$\pi, K, p, \bar{p},\Lambda, D, \Lambda_c, \phi$ in a wide range of transverse momentum. Our approach correctly describes the
baryon-to-meson ratios $p/\pi,\bar{p}/\pi, \Lambda/K$ that reach a value of the order of unit at $p_T \sim 3 GeV$.
In particular we show that in a coalescence plus fragmentation approach one predicts a nearly $p_T$ independent $p/\phi$ ratio up to $p_T \sim 4 GeV$ followed by a significant decrease at higher $p_T$ . Such a behavior is
driven by a similar radial flow effect at $p_T < 2 GeV$ and the dominance of fragmentation for $\phi$ at larger $p_T$.
Moreover in the same framework we evaluate the $\Lambda_c/D$ ratio at RHIC and LHC finding a substantial enhancement with respect to $pp$ collisions.
