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…
The HERA data at large $Q^2$ and small-$x$ investigate large distances on the light-cone. At such large distances the scattered quarks can maintain their colour identity by polarizing the vacuum as they transfer energy to it. We calculate…
Nuclei are transparent for a heavy intrinsic charm (IC) component of the beam hadrons, what leads to an enhanced nuclear dependence of open charm production at large Feynman x_F. Indeed, such an effect was observed recently in the SELEX…
