We study the fine splitting in charmonium spectrum in quark model with the channel coupling effect, including $DD$, $DD^*$, $D^*D^*$ and $D_sD_s$, $D_sD_s^*$, $D_s^*D_s^*$ channels. The interaction for channel coupling is constructed from…
Using methods of effective field theory, a systematic analysis of the fragmentation functions D_{a/H}(x,m_Q) of a hadron H containing a heavy quark Q is performed (with a=Q,Q_bar,q,q_bar,g). By integrating out pair production of virtual and…
In decays of the $Z^0$, the dominant mechanism for the direct production of charmonium states is the decay of the $Z^0$ into a charm quark or antiquark followed by its fragmentation into the charmonium state. We calculate the fragmentation…
We have investigated the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to inclusive hadron production in e^+e^- annihilation and the related parton fragmentation distributions, the `time-like' counterparts of the `space-like'…
Quark fragmentation functions describe the hadronization process of a quark where any of the final-state hadrons carries a fraction of its initial momentum. We compute these fragmentation functions for a cascade that includes pions, kaons,…
Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring, we have measured the scaled momentum spectra, dsigma/dx_p, and the inclusive production cross sections of the charm mesons D+, D0, D*+, and D*0 in e+e- annihilation at…
It is well known that large nonfragmentational contributions to inclusive production of charmed particles appear at low energies. In the case of charm production in $B$-meson decays these contributions arise from the participation of the…
Production of muons and neutrinos in cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere has been investigated with Monte Carlo models for hadronic interactions. The resulting conventional muon and neutrino fluxes (from $\pi$ and $K$ decays) agree…
We present measurements of the total production rates and momentum distributions of the charmed baryon $\Lambda_c^+$ in $e^+e^- \to$ hadrons at a center-of-mass energy of 10.54 GeV and in $\Upsilon(4S)$ decays. In hadronic events at 10.54…
Studies of open-charm hadron production in pp and \pPb collisions are performed by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC to investigate charm-quark hadronization mechanisms. Recent measurements of charm meson (${\rm D^0}$, ${\rm D^+}$, ${\rm…
In this contribution, the latest results on hadronization studies of charm and beauty quarks obtained with the data collected with the ALICE experiment at the LHC are presented. Measurements of prompt and non-prompt charm-hadron production…
We present a factorization framework that takes into account the production of heavy quarks through gluon splitting in the thrust distribution for e+ e- --> hadrons. The explicit factorization theorems and some numerical results are…
The charm quark has unique properties that make it a very important probe of many facets of the Standard Model. New experimental information on charm decays is becoming available from dedicated experiments at charm factories, and through…
Recent results from CLEO-c on measurements of absolute hadronic branching fractions of D0, D+, and Ds+ mesons are presented.
Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 14 GeV and 44 GeV were used to study moments of event shape distributions. The data were compared with Monte Carlo models and with…
The charm fragmentation function has been measured in photoproduction of jets containing D^*+- mesons. The measured function has been used to extract free parameters of different fragmentation models. Measurements of excited charm,…
Charmed meson production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering is investigated in the color dipole formalism. The transverse momentum distributions are calculated. We find good agreement with the H1 data using a hard fragmentation…
To extract information about polarized gluons in the proton, production of charmed hadrons, in particular, \Lambda_c^+ baryon in pp collisions was studied. We calculated the transverse momentum distribution and the pseudo-rapidity…
With data taken by SELEX, which accumulated data during the 1996-1997 fixed target run at Fermilab, we study the production of charmed hadrons on copper and carbon targets with Sigma-, p, pi-, and pi+ beams. Parameterizing the production…
We present a theoretical framework to study open charm production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The coupling strength between the charm quarks and the QGP constituents, quantified by the spatial diffusion coefficient $2\pi TD_{s}$,…
