Heavy Flavour Production at Hera
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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 more beauty production data are becoming available. For this process, NLO QCD predictions tend to be lower than the measurements.

متن کاملLeading log radiative corrections to polarized heavy flavour leptoproduction
O(α) QED radiative corrections to polarized neutral current leptoproduction of heavy quark flavours are calculated in the leading log approximation for HERMES, COMPASS, and HERA kinematics. Besides the inclusive case, we derive general zh-differential formulae for the polarized boson gluon fusion process and use them to calculate radiative corrections to semi-inclusive polarized heavy flavour p...
