The $p_{\rm T}$-differential production cross sections of the prompt (B feed-down subtracted) charmed mesons D$^0$, D$^+$, and D$^{*+}$ in the rapidity range $|y|<0.5$, and for transverse momentum $1< p_{\rm T} <12$ GeV/$c$, were measured…
Measurements of the associated production of a W boson and a charm (c) quark in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV are reported. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of…
The pp -> pp eta and pp -> pLambda K^+ reactions near threshold are dominated by the first and second S_11 resonance respectively. It is shown that a one-pion-exchange model exciting these isobars reproduces well the ratio of the production…
We present a study of correlations between D and $\bar{D}$ mesons produced in 500 GeV/$c$ $\pi^-$-nucleon interactions, based on data from experiment E791 at Fermilab. We have fully reconstructed $791 \pm 44$ charm meson pairs to study…
This note collects formulas relative to the energy dependence of the cross sections for open charm and $J/\psi$ production for $NN$-collisions at threshold. It is a basis for the best input to MonteCarlo calculations, for associative charm…
The distribution of angular correlations between prompt charm hadrons and primary charged particles in pp collisions is sensitive to the charm-quark hadronisation process. In this letter, charm-baryon correlations are measured for the first…
Data from KEK on subthreshold antiproton as well as on charged pion and kaon production in pC, dC and $\alpha$C reactions at energies between 3.5 and 12.0 A GeV are described for the first time within a unified approach. We use a model…
The dynamics of the strangeness-exchange reactions antiproton-proton to AntiLambda-Lambda, AntiLambda-Sigma or AntiSigma-Sigma is discussed, either at the hadron level, in terms of strange-meson exchange, or at the quark level, in terms of…
The production of prompt $\rm \Lambda_{\rm c}^{+}$ baryons at midrapidity ($|y|<0.5$) was measured in central (0-10%) and mid-central (30-50%) Pb-Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$…
