  We present a computational investigation of a problem of hadron collisions
from recent years, that of baryon anticorrelations. This is an experimental
dearth of baryons near other baryons in phase space, not seen upon examining
numerical Monte Carlo simulations. We have addressed one of the best known
Monte Carlo codes, PYTHIA, to see what baryon (anti)correlations it produces,
where they are originated at the string-fragmentation level in the underlying
Lund model, and what simple modifications could lead to better agreement with
data. We propose two ad-hoc alterations of the fragmentation code, a
"one-baryon" and an "always-baryon" policies that qualitatively reproduce the
data behaviour, i.e anticorrelation, and suggest that lacking Pauli-principle
induced corrections at the quark level could be the culprit behind the current
disagreement between computations and experiment.
