We have studied the effects of nonlinear scale evolution of the parton distribution functions to charm production in $pp$ collisions at center-of-mass energies of 5.5, 8.8 and 14 TeV. We find that the differential charm cross section can be…
We calculate the fragmentation function for charm quark into J/psi at the QCD next-to-leading-order (NLO) and find that the produced J/psi is of larger momentum fraction than it is at the leading-order. Based on the fragmentation function…
We analyze the open charm production in the binary $\pi p \to \bar{D} \Lambda_c$ and $\pi(\rho) J/\psi$ reactions within the Regge theory including the absorption corrections. The calculations show that the total cross section is about a…
Charm production in pp collisions is considered in the framework of perturbative QCD. The values of two parameters, the charm quark mass $m_c$ and the QCD scale mu^2, are determined from the comparison of the theoretical calculations with…
A summary of measurements of the fragmentation of charm quarks into a specific hadron is given. Measurements performed in photoproduction and deep inelastic scattering in $e^{\pm}p$, $pp$ and $e^+e^-$ collisions are compared, using…
H1 Collaboration recently observed the charmed pentaquark. In this short note, we point out that the dominant production mechanism for pentaquark consisting of a heavy quark is heavy quark fragmentation. We obtain a crude estimate on the…
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…
Recent results on the hadroproduction of charm and beauty are discussed in the context of the current theoretical and experimental status. The areas covered include production of open charm and beauty particles and charm and beauty…
We perform numerical comparison of the fragmentation mechanism of charmonium production ($g\,g\to c\,\bar{c}$ followed by $c\to\psi\,c$) with the full leading order calculation ($g\,g\to\psi\,c\,\bar{c}$ at ${\O} (\alpha_s^4)$). We conclude…
An overview of the experimental results on high-pt light hadron production and open charm production is presented. Data on particle production in elementary collisions are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.…
Predictions of charm correlation functions and more specifically balance functions are presented in proton--proton (pp) collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 13 TeV based on the PYTHIA 8.3 event generator. Correlations are computed for identical and…
The production of charm and beauty quarks in ep collisions at HERA has been studied by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. Charm production is generally well described in total rate and in shape by next to leading order (NLO) calculations in…
We discuss the relative role of fragmentation and recombination processes for heavy flavour hadron production in different kinematical regions in high energy hadron-hadron and photon-hadron collisions. We predict several qualitative…
The cross section for the diffractive reaction gamma* + p -> c cbar + p with a real or virtual photon is calculated in the nonperturbative two-gluon exchange model of Landshoff and Nachtmann. Numerical predictions are given for cross…
Charm photoproduction rates off nuclei below the nucleon threshold are estimated using the phenomenologically known structure functions both for $x<1$ and $x>1$. The rates rapidly fall from values of the order 1 nb at the threshold to…
The two particle inclusive cross section for the reaction $p +\bar{p}\rightarrow \gamma + c + X$ is studied in perturbative quantum chromodynamics at order $O(\alpha ^2_s)$. Differential distributions are provided for various observables,…
The two particle inclusive cross section for the reaction $p +\bar{p}\rightarrow \gamma + c + X$ is studied in perturbative quantum chromodynamics at order $O(\alpha ^2_s)$, for large values of the transverse momentum of the prompt photon…
We calculate the energy--momentum distribution of the charmed quarks produced in neutrino reactions on protons, quantifying the importance of mass and current non--conservation effects. We study the strange and charm distributions probed in…
Fragmentation functions are one of the key components of the factorisation theorem used to calculate heavy-flavour hadron production cross sections. The non-perturbative nature of fragmentation functions necessitates that they are…
We discuss the calculation of $F_2^{\gamma}({\rm charm})$ to next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD, including contributions from both hadronlike and pointlike photons. We show that the former dominates strongly below $x\simeq 0.01$, and the…
