We review the hadro-production data presently available on open charm and beauty absolute production cross-sections, collected by experiments at CERN, DESY and Fermilab. The published charm production cross-section values are updated, in…
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…
We investigate the production of the $\Omega_{ccc}$ baryon in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Unlike proton-proton collisions, nuclear collisions produce both deconfined matter and abundant charm quark pairs, which can coalesce to form…
In this paper we conduct a phenomenological study for the search of evidence for the intrinsic charm mechanism in double $J/\psi$ production at the COMPASS experiment using the CERN $\pi^-$ beam at 190 GeV/c. We also re-review the double…
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…
We identify open charm effects in a direct production process $e^+e^-\to J/\psi \pi^0$. A unique feature of this process is that the $D\bar{D}^*+c.c.$ threshold is located at a relatively isolated energy region, i.e. $\sim 3.876 \…
After reviewing the motivation for high-statistics charm studies, we describe a fixed-target experiment capable of reconstructing $>10^8$ charm decays. Such an experiment can test the Standard Model and probe non-Standard physics through…
Recent developments in the theoretical evaluation of charmonium production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions (URHIC's) are discussed. In particular, the consequences of equilibrium properties of open and hidden charm states --…
Background: A nonperturbative charm production contribution, known as intrinsic charm, was predicted in the early 1980s. Recent results have provided new evidence for its existence but further confirmation is needed. Purpose: $J/\psi$ and…
We present the results of a calculation of the intrinsic charm quark contribution to $J/\psi$ plus open charm associated production at large transverse momentum in hadron collisions at high energies. It is shown that the value of the cross…
Selected recent ZEUS and H1 results on open charm and beauty production in high energy ep collisions are reviewed. Measurements of differential D* cross sections, charm meson production ratios and semi-leptonic beauty decays are discussed…
We present selected results obtained by the ALICE Collaboration concerning charmed hadron and quarkonium production in Pb--Pb collisions at the LHC.
Very recently, the CMS Collaboration reported a peaking phenomenon existing in the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum from $pp$ collision, by which the $X(6900)$ structure announced by the LHCb Collaboration was confirmed, but also more…
We present the first predictions for sub-threshold open charm and charmonium production in nuclear collisions. The production mechanism is driven by multi-step scatterings of nucleons and their resonance states, accumulating sufficient…
Potential of the charm quark as a probe to study the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is best harnessed when its production mechanisms are disentangled from its propagation through the QGP. Proton-proton (pp) collisions help us to study charmed…
Mid-rapidity open charm spectra from direct reconstruction of $D^{0}$($\bar{D^0}$)$\to K^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}$ in d+Au collisions and indirect electron/positron measurements via charm semileptonic decays in p+p and d+Au collisions at \srt = 200…
Recent theoretical and experimental improvements in the determination of charm and bottom quark masses are discussed. A new and improved evaluation of the contribution from the gluon condensate $< \frac{\alpha_s}{\pi} G^2>$ to the charm…
There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…
We determine the strong couplings of three mesons that involve, at least, one $\eta_c$ or $J/\psi$ meson, within the framework of a constituent-quark model by means of relativistic dispersion formulations. For strong couplings of $J/\psi$…
Particle production in central Pb-Pb collisions at LHC is discussed in the context of the Statistical Model. Predictions of various particle ratios are presented with the corresponding choice of model parameters made according to the…
