High-energy resummation in $$\Lambda _c$$ baryon production

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We present a study on inclusive emissions of a double <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$\Lambda _c$$</jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>Λ</mml:mi> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> </mml:msub> </mml:math></jats:alternatives></jats:inline-formula> or of a <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$\Lambda _c$$</jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>Λ</mml:mi> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> </mml:msub> </mml:math></jats:alternatives></jats:inline-formula> plus a light-flavored jet system as probe channels in the semi-hard regime of QCD. Our formalism relies on the so-called hybrid high-energy/collinear factorization, where the standard collinear description is supplemented by the <jats:italic>t</jats:italic>-channel resummation <jats:italic>à la</jats:italic> BFKL of energy logarithms up to the next-to-leading accuracy. We make use of the modular interface, suited to the analysis of different semi-hard reactions, employing the novel parameterization for the description of parton fragmentation into <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$\Lambda _c$$</jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>Λ</mml:mi> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> </mml:msub> </mml:math></jats:alternatives></jats:inline-formula> baryons. We provide predictions for rapidity distributions and azimuthal correlations, that can be studied at current and forthcoming LHC configurations, hunting for possible stabilizing effects of the high-energy series.</jats:p>
