The product of acceptance, efficiency and branching ratio of $\mathrm {\Sigma}$(1385)$^+$ and $\mathrm {\Xi}$(1530)$^0$,obtained with PYTHIA 6.4 and GEANT3 ,as function of $p_{\rm T}$ in $\left | y \right | $< 0.5 Only statistical uncertainties are reported The dashed- and the dash-dotted lines indicate the overall branching ratio for the two reconstruction channels

Inelastic baryon yields, ${\rm d}^2N/({\rm d}y {\rm d}p_{\rm T})$, per $p_{\rm T}$ interval per unit rapidity for $\mathrm {\Sigma}$(1385) and $\mathrm {\Xi (1530)^{0}}$. Statistical and systematic uncertainties are summed in quadrature, excluding the $p_{\rm T}$-independent uncertainties, which affect only the overall normalization of the spectra and are not considered in the fit Spectra are fitted with a Lévy-Tsallis function. The ratio data/fit is shown in the lower panel For the sake of visibility, only $\mathrm {\Sigma}$(1385)$^{+}$ is shown in the lower panel, but similar ratios have been obtained for the other three $\mathrm {\Sigma}$(1385) species. For the ratio, the integral of the fitting function in each corresponding $p_{\rm T}$ interval is considered Spectra points are represented at the centre of the $p_{\rm T}$ interval

The transverse momentum spectrum of $\mathrm {\Sigma}$(1385)$^{+}$ is compared to standard tunes of PYTHIA 6 and PYTHIA 8, the latest release of HERWIG (6.521), and SHERPA release 1.4.6 The MC data are binned according to the data Spectra points are represented at the centre of the $p_{\rm T}$ interval The lower panel shows the ratio data/MC. $p_{\rm T}$-independent uncertainties are not shown

Same as Fig. 6 but for $\mathrm {\Xi (1530)^{0}}$

The mean $p_{\rm T}$ as function of the particle mass including $\mathrm {\Sigma}$(1385)$^+$, $\mathrm {\Xi (1530)^{0}}$ andother particles reconstructed in pp collisionsat $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.9 TeV by the ALICE collaboration and at $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.2 TeV by the STAR collaboration The lower panel shows the ratio data/MC. Statistical and systematic uncertainties are shown separately (vertical solid lines and brackets, respectively)
