Baryon correlations in Pythia

Description
Summary:Abstract We present the results from our investigation of angular correlations between baryons pairs in the Pythia8 event generator. We show how colour reconnection models and hadronization mechanisms influence such angular correlations and in particular address the effect of gluons on the baryon production mechanism in the Lund string fragmentation model. We conclude by discussing the new theoretical ideas in comparison with the ALICE $$\textrm{pp} $$ pp collision results for the baryon angular correlations. We propose a hypothesis for suppressing baryons produced in gluon jets and show how that may influence the angular correlations.
