Cross sections for the charm-production reactions $\bar p p \to \bar \Lambda_c^- \Sigma_c^+$, $\bar \Sigma_c\Sigma_c$, $\bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$, and $\bar \Xi_c'\Xi_c'$ are presented, for energies near their respective thresholds. The results are…
We study the relative contribution of partonic sub-processes to D meson production and D meson-triggered inclusive di-hadrons to lowest order in perturbative QCD. While gluon fusion dominates the creation of large angle DD-bar pairs, charm…

We calculate open charm production in $Pb+Pb$ reactions at SPS energies within the HSD transport approach - which is based on string, quark, diquark ($q, \bar{q}, qq, \bar{q}\bar{q}$) and hadronic degrees of freedom - including the…
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…
We examine the production of open charm in antiproton annihilation on finite nuclei. The enhancement of the subthreshold production cross section, even in a nucleus as light as carbon, should provide a clean signature of the reduction in…
