Abstract
Inclusive production of protons in quark and gluon jets is calculated in perturbative QCD and the recombination model. We first calculate the inclusive distribution of a parton jet to decay into three quarks, and then recombine them to form a proton. The computation is performed in the framework of the same model that successfully describes the production of pions in parton jets. Our results, which are applicable to , show a small production of baryons with . We point at other possible sources of baryons which must be operative if the abundant production of baryons shown in the low- data will persist at higher and high .
