Cover Story: What hidden lessons do rare Ω baryons hold about the core structure of heavy hadrons? While their experimental observation remains a challenge, precision QCD tools now allow us to explore their production at colliders. In this work, we present the novel set of fragmentation functions OMG3Q1.0, tailored for triply heavy baryons. These functions rely on a diquark-like proxy model and evolve via a threshold-aware Heavy-Flavor Non-Relativistic evolution (HF-NREVO) scheme. We apply our framework to NLL/NLO+ resummed predictions for baryon-jet systems, obtained through the (SYM)JETHAD interface at the High-Luminosity LHC and FCC. Mapping this rare sector opens a new frontier for QCD phenomenology at hadron colliders, where the strong force may conceal clues about exotic structures and potential gateways to new physics.
