We discuss aspects of open and hidden charm production in hadron-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. We first discuss the extraction of the total charm cross section in lower energy collisions and how it compares to next-to-leading…
The results of the SERP-E-184 experiment at the U-70 accelerator (IHEP, Protvino) are presented. Interactions of the 70 GeV proton beam with C, Si and Pb targets were studied to detect decays of charmed $D^0$, $\overline D^0$, $D^+$, $D^-$…
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…

We show that the cross section of the diffractive production of $b \bar b$ can be described as the sum of two contributions: the first is proportional to the probability of finding a small size $b \bar b$ color dipole in the fast hadron…
We calculate the contribution to inclusive high tranverse momentum ($p_T$) charm production at HERA from the excitation of charm in the photon. At large values of \pt\ the results of such a calculation, in the structure function language,…
