Remarks on heavy-quark production in photon-nucleon and photon-photon collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss mechanisms of heavy quark production in (real) photon-nucleon and (real) photon (real) photon collisions. In particular, I focuse on application of the Saturation Model. In addition to the main dipole-nucleon or dipole-dipole contribution included in recent analyses, I propose how to calculate within the same formalism the hadronic single-resolved contribution to heavy quark production. At high photon-photon energies this yields a sizeable correction of about 30-40 % for inclusive charm production and 15-20 % for bottom production. Adding all possible contributions to ee → bb̄X together removes a huge deficit observed in earlier works but does not solve the problem totally.

متن کاملHeavy quark production in photon-nucleon and photon-photon collisions
We discuss several mechanisms of heavy quark production in (real) photon-nucleon and (real) photon (real) photon collisions. In particular we focuse on application of the Saturation Model. We discuss how to generalize the formula from virtual photon proton scattering and analyze threshold effects. We discuss a possibility to measure the cross section for γγ → 2c2c̄. In addition to the main dipol...
متن کاملPhoton Production in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions at Sps and Rhic Energies
Chiral Lagrangians are used to compute the production rate of photons from the hadronic phase of relativistic nuclear collisions. Special attention is paid to the role of the pseudovector a1 meson. Calculations that include reactions with strange mesons, hadronic form factors and vector spectral densities consistent with dilepton production, as well as the emission from a quark-gluon plasma and...
متن کاملThe Unintegrated Gluon Density in the Photon and Heavy Quark Production
The production cross section of heavy quarks in real and virtual photon-photon collisions has been studied. The unintegrated gluon density in the photon was obtained using the CCFM evolution equation for the first time. The gluon density was implemented in the Monte Carlo generator CASCADE, and cross sections for heavy quark production in e + e − collisions were calculated and compared to LEP d...
متن کاملUltra-peripheral Collisions in Star
We refer to ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions, as those nuclear interactions with a impact parameter, b, larger than twice the nuclear radius RA, where no hadronic nucleon-nucleon collisions occur . The large charge of a relativistic heavy nucleus is a strong source of quasi-real photons. Exclusive ρ meson production AuAu→AuAuρ0 can then be described by the vector meson dominance model : a ...
