Abstract
We propose the inclusive detection at the LHC of a cascade baryon in association with a jet, as a novel probe channel for the QCD dynamics at high energies. We investigate the behavior of a selection of distributions, differential in rapidity, azimuthal angle and/or transverse momenta, calculated via the hybrid high-energy/collinear factorization encoding the full next-to-leading BFKL resummation of energy logarithms. We come out with the conclusion that the fragmentation mechanism underlying the production of baryon states leads to stabilization effects of the resummation, similar to those recently observed in the context of heavy-flavor studies within the same formalism.
