Περιγραφή: The distribution of angular correlations between prompt charm hadrons and primary charged particles in pp collisions is sensitive to the charm-quark hadronisation process. In this letter, charm-baryon correlations are measured for the first time by studying the azimuthal-angle difference between charged particles and prompt Λ_c ^⁺ baryons produced in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV, with the ALICE detector. Λ_c ^⁺ baryons are reconstructed at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) in the transverse-momentum interval 3 < pₜ < 16 GeV/c, and correlated with charged particles with pₜ > 0.3 GeV/c and pseudorapidity |η| < 0.8. For 3 < pₜ( Λ_c ^⁺, D) < 5 GeV/c, the comparison with published measurements of D-meson and charged-particle correlations in the same collision system hints at a larger number of low-momentum particles associated with Λ_c ^⁺ -baryon triggers than with D-meson triggers, both in the collinear and opposite directions with respect to the trigger particle. These differences can be quantified by the comparison of the properties of the near- and away-side correlation peaks, and are not reproduced by predictions of various Monte Carlo event generators, generally underpredicting the associated particle yields at pₜ^ (assoc) < 1 GeV/c. This tension between Λ_c ^⁺ -baryon and D-meson associated peak yields could suggest a modified fragmentation of the charm quark, or a different hadronisation process, when a charm baryon is produced in the final state.

In this letter, charm-baryon correlations are measured for the first time by studying the azimuthal-angle difference between charged particles and prompt Λ_c ^⁺ baryons produced in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV, with the ALICE detector. Λ_c ^⁺ baryons are reconstructed at midrapidity (|y| &lt; 0.5) in the transverse-momentum interval 3 &lt; pₜ &lt; 16 GeV/c, and correlated with charged particles with pₜ &gt; 0.3 GeV/c and pseudorapidity |η| &lt; 0.8. For 3 &lt; pₜ( Λ_c ^⁺, D) &lt; 5 GeV/c, the comparison with published measurements of D-meson and charged-particle correlations in the same collision system hints at a larger number of low-momentum particles associated with Λ_c ^⁺ -baryon triggers than with D-meson triggers, both in the collinear and opposite directions with respect to the trigger particle. These differences can be quantified by the comparison of the properties of the near- and away-side correlation peaks, and are not reproduced by predictions of various Monte Carlo event generators, generally underpredicting the associated particle yields at pₜ^ (assoc) &lt; 1 GeV/c. This tension between Λ_c ^⁺ -baryon and D-meson associated peak yields could suggest a modified fragmentation of the charm quark, or a different hadronisation process, when a charm baryon is produced in the final state.
