Heavy quarks at HERA with lifetime tag
نویسنده
چکیده
Two preliminary measurements of beauty production in events with two jets at HERA are presented. The first exploits the new ZEUS microvertex detector to measure the b content of a sample of events with two jets and a muon. The second is a measurement by the H1 collaboration based on inclusive lifetime tagging. The results are in agreement with previous measurements and with QCD predictions. ¡ Speaker. † on behalf of the H1 and ZEUS collabotrations c ¢ Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

Latest measurements of beauty quark production at HERA
Production of heavy quarks is a fascinating tool to understand the nucleon structure as well as the underlying QCD parton dynamics. In addition production of b quarks is a source of background for many searches for new physics at existing and future colliders. The high b mass (Mb ≫ ΛQCD) should provide a solid basis for a perturbative calculation. Nevertheless, so far discrepancies between the ...

Recent results on heavy flavor production at HERA are presented. New measurements of charm production are available in the region of Q < 1000 GeV for D and in the photoproduction limit, Q → 0, for Ds. The results are compared to theoretical calculations and the charm proton structure function F cc̄ 2 (x,Q ) is extracted. A new independent measurement of the bb̄ cross section using a b-lifetime ta...
