We study the $J/\psi$ photoproduction $\gamma p\to J/\psi p$ near threshold to investigate the role played by the open charm channels and possible signals from the hidden charm $P_c$ pentaquark states. With the diffractive mechanism…
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 study the near-threshold $J/\psi$ meson photoproduction from protons and nuclei by considering incoherent direct non-resonant (${\gamma}p \to {J/\psi}p$, ${\gamma}n \to {J/\psi}n$) and two-step resonant (${\gamma}p \to P_{ci}^+ \to…
We investigate the charm sector of the nucleon structure phenomenologically, using the most up-to-date global QCD analysis. Going beyond the common assumption of purely radiatively generated charm, we explore possible degrees of freedom in…

Recent results on heavy flavor production at HERA are presented. New measurements of charm production are available in the region of $ Q^2 <$ 1000 GeV$^2$ for $D^*$ and in the photoproduction limit, $Q^2\to 0$, for $D_s$. The results are…
Effects of strong longitudinal colour electric fields (SCF), shadowing, and quenching on the open prompt charm mesons (D$^0$, D$^+$, D$^{*+}$, D${_s}{^+}$) production in central Pb + Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV are…
The nuclear emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS of 27 GeV average neutrino energy from 1994 to 1997. In total about 100000 charged-current neutrino interactions with at least one…
We report measurements of charmed hadron production from hadronic ($D^{0}\rightarrow K\pi$) and semileptonic ($\mu$ and $e$) decays in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Analysis of the spectra indicates that charmed hadrons have a different…
If QGP-like medium is created in $p$-Pb collisions at extremely high collision energies, charm quarks that move in the medium can hadronize by capturing the co-moving light quark(s) or anti-quark(s) to form the charm hadrons. Using light…

The near-threshold photoproduction of $J/\psi$ is regarded as one golden process to unveil the nucleon mass structure, pentaquark state involving the charm quarks, and the poorly constrained gluon distribution of the nucleon at large $x$…
