We present searches for rare charm decays of the form $X_c^+ \to h^{\pm} \ell^{\mp} \ell^{(')^+}$, where $X_c^+$ is a charm hadron either $D^+$, $D_s^+$, or $\Lambda_c^+$, and $\ell^{(')^{\pm}}$ is an electron or muon. These modes are based…
The hadronization effects induced by different colour connections of $c\bar{c}q\bar{q}$ system in $e^+e^-$ annihilation are investigated by a toy model where diquark fragmentation is employed based on Pythia. It is found that the…
Recent results on open charm production at HERA are presented. Charm quarks are identified via the reconstruction of D-mesons. The charm contribution to the proton structure function is shown. Evidence for an exotic anti-charmed baryon…
We have investigated strange and charm quark-pair production in the early stage of heavy ion collisions. Our kinetic model is based on a Wigner function method for fermion-pair production in strong non-Abelian fields. To describe the…
Charm final states in deep inelastic scattering constitute $\sim 25%$ of the inclusive cross-section at small $x$ as measured at HERA. These data can reveal important information on the charm and gluon structure of the nucleon if they are…
We present a calculation of the D^{*+}, D^+ and D^0 meson single inclusive production cross section for the Tevatron Run II. We use the FONLL approach in perturbative QCD, which, besides including the known next-to-leading order…
Charm production as related to the determination of the strange sea density in deep inelastic charged current processes is studied predominantly in the framework of the $\overline{{\rm{MS}}}$ fixed flavor factorization scheme. Perturbative…
The cross section for the inclusive photoproduction of large-p_T D^*+- mesons is calculated at next-to-leading order, adopting different approaches to describe the fragmentation of charm quarks into D^*+- mesons. We treat the charm quark…
We have discussed single and central diffractive production of $c \bar c$ pairs in the Ingelman-Schlein model. In these calculations we have included diffractive parton distributions obtained by the H1 collaboration at HERA and absorption…
Measurements of heavy quark production in electron-positron collisions are used to analyse the strong interactions between quarks and anti-quarks. A scaling behaviour is observed in distributions of the rapidity change of D*, B*, and B…
At low Q^2, charm production in deep-inelastic scattering is adequately described by assuming generation in electroweak boson-light parton scattering (dominantly boson-gluon fusion) which naturally incorporates the correct threshold…
We have refined a model for charm fragmentation at hadron colliders. This model can also be applied to the photoproduction of charm. We investigate the effect of fragmentation on the distribution of produced charm quarks. The drag effect is…
Production measurements of charm hadrons, particularly the yield ratios of different hadron species as a function of the transverse momentum, are important to study the charm hadronisation mechanism. In this contribution, measurements of…
In these proceedings, heavy flavor production as measured by STAR is disscussed. This can be done directly by reconstruction of the hadronic decays or indirectly by the measurement of electrons from semileptonic decays of heavy quark…
Using a simple quark-diquark model, we extract a set of unpolarized and polarized fragmentation functions for the $\Lambda$ based on the available unpolarized $\Lambda$ production data in $e^+ e ^- $ annihilation. It is found that there is…
Recent measurements of prompt charm-baryon production at midrapidity in pp and p--Pb collisions show baryon-to-meson yield ratios significantly higher than those in $\rm e^+e^-$ collisions, suggesting that the charm fragmentation is not…
In the hadroproduction of charm in the context of string fragmentation, the pull of a beam remnant at the other end of a string may give a charm hadron more energy than the perturbatively produced charm quark. The collapse of a low-mass…
We study the inclusive hadrodroduction of D^0, D^+, D^{*+}, and D_s^+ mesons at next-to-leading order in the parton model of quantum chromodynamics endowed with universal non-perturbative fragmentation functions (FFs) fitted to e^+e^-…
We study perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of heavy-quark fragmentation into hadrons, emphasizing the large-x region, where x is the energy fraction of the detected hadron. We first prove that when the moment index N and the quark…
In this paper a search for associated charm production both in neutral and charged current $\nu$-nucleus interactions is presented. The improvement of automatic scanning systems in the {CHORUS} experiment allows an efficient search to be…
