Heavy quark production and spectroscopy at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
Heavy flavour production and spectroscopy are key components of the HERA physics programme. I will summarise a selection of the recent results obtained by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. The production of excited charm mesons and J/ψ will be discussed as well as measurements of b quark cross-sections in photoproduction. The status of searches for exotic bound states and the D∗p resonance will be updated.

Heavy Quark production at the TEVATRON and HERA using kt - factorization with CCFM evolution
The application of kt-factorization supplemented with the CCFM smallx evolution equation to heavy quark production at the TEVATRON and at HERA is discussed. The bb̄ production cross sections at the TEVATRON can be consistently described using the kt-factorization formalism together with the unintegrated gluon density obtained within the CCFM evolution approach from a fit to HERA F2 data. Special...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Production at Hera in Kt Factorization Supplemented with Ccfm Evolution
The application of kt factorization, supplemented with the CCFM small-x evolution equation, to heavy quark production is discussed. Differential cross sections of bb̄ production and also inelastic J/ψ production as measured at HERA are compared to the hadron level CCFM Monte Carlo generator Cascade, using the unintegrated gluon density obtained within the CCFM evolution approach from a fit to HE...

The theory of heavy quark production in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (PQCD) is more challenging than that of light parton (jet) production because of the new physics issue...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Production at Hera and Its Relevance for the Lhc
The import of HERA data on heavy quark production for LHC experiments is discussed. Knowlegde of all aspects of the beauty and charm production process, viz. the parton density functions of colliding hadrons, the hard scatter, and the fragmentation of the quarks into hadrons, can aid LHC experimentation. This short write-up concentrates on possible influences HERA data can have and on the curre...
متن کاملHeavy-Flavor Production at Accelerators
I discuss heavy flavor production at hadronic facilities. I present total cross sections and differential distributions for top quark, bottom quark, and charm quark production at the Tevatron and LHC colliders, and at fixed-target experiments such as HERA-B. The calculations include complete next-to-leading order corrections as well as higher-order soft-gluon corrections which are important nea...
