| contents | The enhancement of the baryon production relative to mesons in small-collision systems is considered a breakthrough result of the Large Hadron Collider since a similar effect in heavy-ion collisions is understood by invoking the formation of the strongly-interacting quark--gluon plasma. In this letter, a baryon enhancement is reported for $p_{\rm T}^{\rm ch,\, jet}>15$\,GeV/$c$ jets produced in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$\,TeV simulated with PYTHIA8. The effect can be explained as a transition between quark-initiated jets (low jet multiplicities) to gluon-initiated jets (high jet multiplicities). The present result challenges the interpretation about the multiplicity dependence of the baryon enhancement in terms of collective expansion of the medium and quark recombination. |
