Baryon-to-meson ratios inside charged jets are studied in the Lund jet plane using Pythia 8 simulations of pp collisions at √ s = 14 TeV, with 15 < p ch,jet T < 30 GeV/c in an acceptance compatible with the future ALICE 3 detector. Jets are reclustered with the Cambridge–Aachen algorithm and identified hadrons are tagged at the splitting where they first separate from the leading branch. Three model configurations are compared: Monash, color reconnection beyond leading color (CR-BLC), and CR-BLC combined with thermodynamical string fragmentation (Thermal + CR-BLC). The Λ+ c /D0 ratio rises with log(1/z) in the two configurations that include color-string junctions and is approximately flat under Monash. The same trend is present at the first Cambridge–Aachen branching, indicating that the effect is set at the level of the color topology rather than through the cumulative action of many soft splittings. Light- and strange-sector ratios show no z-dependent signature of either mechanism, but the angular projection reveals non-trivial structure at the first branching that is washed out when emissions are summed. The Cambridge–Aachen declustering and the Lund plane together separate the kinematic signatures of the two baryon-enhancement mechanisms in Pythia 8 and provide observables accessible to future ALICE 3 measurements.
