Leading/nonleading Charm Hadroproduction in the Quark-Gluon String Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Leading charm production in reaction πNDX\pi^- N \rightarrow DX is discussed.Three experiments at Fermilab and CERN have measured a rather large enhancement in production rate of leading DD^--mesons over nonleading D+D^+.A good description of these results is obtained in Quark Gluon String Model (QGSM) if the idea of 'intrinsic charm' is involved. The weight of the ccˉc\bar{c} pairs in the quark sea of colliding hadrons is estimated from the experimental data. The comparison with other theoretical models is also carried out.
