We show that the experimental data of mid-rapidity $p_{T}$ spectra for proton, $\Lambda$, $\Xi$ , $\Omega^{-}$, $\text{K(892)}^{*0}$ and $\Xi(1530)^{*0}$ in minimum-bias $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV can be systemically explained by the quark combination mechanism of hadronization. The averaged transverse momentum $\langle p_{T}\rangle$ and spectra ratios such as $\Xi/\Lambda$ and $\Omega/\phi$ calculated from quark combination reproduce the data much better than those from traditional string and/or cluster fragmentation. The available data of hadronic $p_{T}$ spectra released by ALICE collaboration in the first three high-multiplicity classes of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV are also well explained. We make predictions for other hadrons, and propose two scaling behaviors among decuplet baryons and vector mesons as the effective probe of hadron production mechanism at such high collision energy.

  1. Transverse momentum dependence of $\Omega/\phi$ ratio in high energy collisions

    The p_T dependence of the Ω/φ ratio in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions is dominated by the discrete curvature of the strange-quark transverse-momentum spectrum extracted from φ data via quark-number scaling.
