Resumen

The production of prompt D⁰, D_s⁺, and Λ_c⁺ hadrons, and their ratios, D_s⁺/D⁰ and Λ_c⁺/D⁰, are measured in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed as a function of the charm-hadron transverse momentum (p_T) in intervals of charged-particle multiplicity, measured with two multiplicity estimators covering different pseudorapidity regions. While the strange to non-strange D_s⁺/D⁰ ratio indicates no significant multiplicity dependence, the baryon-to-meson p_T-differential Λ_c⁺/D⁰ ratio shows a multiplicity-dependent enhancement, with a significance of 5.3σ for 1<p_T<12 GeV/c, comparing the highest multiplicity interval with respect to the lowest one. The measurements are compared with a theoretical model that explains the multiplicity dependence by a canonical treatment of quantum charges in the statistical hadronisation approach, and with predictions from event generators that implement colour reconnection mechanisms beyond the leading colour approximation to model the hadronisation process. The Λ_c⁺/D⁰ ratios as a function of p_T present a similar shape and magnitude as the Λ/K_S⁰ ratios in comparable multiplicity intervals, suggesting a potential common mechanism for light- and charm-hadron formation, with analogous multiplicity dependence. The p_T-integrated ratios, extrapolated down to p_T=0, do not show a significant dependence on multiplicity within the uncertainties.
