Experimental status/test possibilities for baryon number conservation in LHC?

Violation of baryon number is hypothesized e.g. for baryogenesis (more matter than antimatter from Big Bang) or Hawking radiation (baryons -> black hole -> massless radiation) - quite extreme ...

The existence of Delta baryons was experimentally proven? [duplicate]

If we will look at the table from Wikipedia of their properties, we will find the same mass for all. That looks like a result of some calculation, rather then a result of measurement. Was that ...

What Does Up-Down Asymmetry Mean?

There is strong experimental evidence (reported on in the linked paper), from more than one high energy physics experiment, that up-down asymmetry is present in the decays of certain charmed baryons. ...

Is there an experimental technique for specifically producing Delta minus baryons and clearly detecting the products of their decay?

Formerly I thought that Delta minus baryon was discovered in cosmic rays. However I was mistaken. Wikipedia says that Delta states were "established experimentally at the University of Chicago ...

Is it possible to destroy proton in proton-proton collision?

Or in proton-electron collision. To destroy is to turn into other particles, not baryons. In context of the baryon asymmetry.
