Charm Production in Ep-collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent results on the production of open charm in electron proton scattering at HERA are reviewed. Results on the fragmentation of charm are presented and compared to the measurements at e + e − colliders. Recent results on the charm contribution to the proton structure function F2 are shown. Furthermore, measurements of inclusive D * meson, D * + jet and D * + muon production are presented. These results are compared with perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading order as well as with Monte Carlo predictions.

Heavy Flavour Production with Leptons and Hadrons
The production of charm and beauty quarks in γγ collisions at LEP, ep collisions at HERA and p¯ p collisions at the Tevatron is discussed. The comparison with predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD and the issues it raises are detailed. In particular, the strengths and weaknesses of the measurements and predictions are discussed.
متن کاملCharm fragmentation and excited charm and charm-strange mesons at ZEUS
Charm hadrons were produced copiously in ep collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 318GeV at HERA providing a means to study charm hadronisation. During first phase of the HERA operation (1992-2000), the ZEUS collaboration accumulated data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ∼ 120 pb. Measurements of the D, D, D and Λc production a with the HERA I data were used to determine...
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...

We review recent results from the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA on charm and beauty production in ep collisions at 300 318 GeV centre-of-mass energy.
متن کاملResonance Searches at HERA
Inclusive production of K SK 0 S in ep collisions was studied with the ZEUS detector. Significant production of J = 2 tensor mesons and of the 0 glueball candidate f0(1710) was seen. Masses and widths were compared with previous experiments. The H1 Collaboration saw a charm pentaquark candidate in the D∗p spectrum at 3.1 GeV, which was not confirmed by a ZEUS higher statistics search. With the ...
