We study charm production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions by using the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. The initial charm quarks are produced by the Pythia event generator tuned to fit the transverse…
An important question in the theory of double parton scattering is how to incorporate the possibility of the parton pairs being generated perturbatively via $1 \to 2$ splitting into the theory, whilst avoiding double counting with single…
