Review of Heavy-Quark Production at Fixed-Target Experiments
Abstract
An increasingly large amount of quality fixed-target data on heavy-quark production at fixed-target energies is appearing. This data can provide information across a range of physics topics. The topics vary from investigations of QCD predictions to the understanding of the structure of hadrons. Recent results on neutrino, photon, and hadron production of charm and beauty will be reviewed in this context. The greatest insight will come from combining multiple measurements as they relate to the physics topics, and by ensuring that the parameters used in models are consistent with all the measurements. We have not yet really entered the time when this has been done for fixed-target measurements.
