Heavy Flavor Production at Hera
Recent results of open charm and beauty production in electron proton scattering at HERA are presented. In photoproduction, the measured cross sections for charm exceed fixed order NLO QCD calculations. Experimental evidence supports the hypothesis that a significant fraction of photoproduction events with charm can be described by resolved photon processes, where the charm quark is a constitue...
متن کاملCharm Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering
Charm quarks are produced copiously in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA. At sufficiently high photon virtualities, Q, the production of charm quarks constitutes up to 30% of the total cross section [1,2]. Previous measurements of D∗ cross sections [1,2,3,4] indicate that the production of charm quarks in DIS in the range 1 < Q < 600 GeV is consistent with QCD calculations in which charm ...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Production at Hera
Results on open charm production in e-p collisions at HERA obtained with a high statistics sample are presented and compared with next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD predictions. The diierential cross sections for photoproduced D mesons are above all available NLO calculations, in particular in the forward (proton) direction. A study of dijet photoproduction (PHP) associated with charm yields signi...
متن کاملHeavy Flavour Production at Hera
Recent measurements of Charm and Beauty production at HERA are described. The charm results are well described by NLO QCD calculations with a somewhat better description in the CCFM than in the DGLAP evolution schemes. However, the Beauty results in both photoproduction and in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) are poorly described by such calculations.
متن کاملHeavy Flavour Production at Hera
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 perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD), although in specific phase space corners the NLO calculations underestimate the observed cross sections. More and mo...
