Estimates of the subthreshold production of charm

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Charm photoproduction rates off nuclei below the nucleon threshold are estimated using the phenomenologically known structure functions both for x<1x<1 and x>1x>1. The rates rapidly fall from values of the order 1 nb at the threshold to values of the order 1 pb at 6 GeV for Pb target.
