The production of charmed particles by Sigma- of 340 Gev/c momentum was studied in the hyperon beam experiment WA89 at the CERN-SPS, using the Omega-spectrometer. In two data-taking periods in 1993 and 1994 an integrated luminosity of 1600…

We calculate the A-dependence of charm and beauty production cross sections on nuclear targets taking into account the difference of quark and gluon distributions in free nucleons and in nucleus. At comparatively low energies, if $\sigma…

Background: A nonperturbative charm production contribution, known as intrinsic charm, was predicted in the early 1980s. Recent results have provided new evidence for its existence but further confirmation is needed. Purpose: $J/\psi$ and…
The way a charm-quark fragments into a charmed hadron is a challenging problem both for the theoretical and the experimental particle physics. Moreover, in neutrino induced charm-production, peculiar processes occur such as quasi-elastic…

We describe calculations of $c \bar c$ production to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and next-to-next-to-leading logarithm (NNLL) near threshold in $pp$ and $\pi^- p$ interactions. We study the relevance of these calculations for…
We would attempt, in this work, at dwelling upon some crucial aspects of $J/\Psi$-production in a few high energy nuclear collisions in the light of a non-standard model which is outlined in the text. The underlying physical ideas,…
The dependence of the production of the $X(3872)$ meson on the hadron multiplicity in $pp$ collisions has been used as evidence against $X$ being a charm-meson molecule. The argument is based in part on the incorrect assumption that the…

We discuss the open charm production in peripheral reactions $\bar pp\to \bar Y_cY_c$ and $\bar pp\to M_c\bar M_c$, where $Y_c$ and $M_c$ stand for $\Lambda_c^+,\Sigma_c^+$ and $D,D^*$, respectively, at $\sqrt{s}\lesssim 15$ GeV, which…
Based on photon structure function formalism we have calculated $B_c(B_c^{*})$ meson production cross section in $\gamma\gamma$ collisions via partonic subprocess $c\gamma\to B_c(B_c^{*}) b$. It was shown that this approach gives the same…
