Open Charm Production in pp and Heavy Ion Collisions in QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The RHIC data on charm production are compared with the kT-factorization approach predictions, both standard NLO QCD and FONLL. The calculated results underestimate the STAR Collaboration data. The role of possible nuclear effects is discussed.
