Threshold Effects on Heavy Quark Production in γγ Interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The exchange of gluons between heavy quarks produced in e + e − interactions results in an enhancement of their production near threshold. We study QCD threshold effects in γγ collisions. The results are relevant to heavy quark production by beam-strahlung and laser back-scattering in future linear collider experiments. Detailed predictions for top, bottom and charm production are presented.

Top quark threshold production in γγ collision in the next - to - leading order
Top quark threshold production in γγ collision in the next-to-leading order. Abstract The total cross section of the top quark-antiquark pair production near threshold in γγ collision is computed analytically up to the next-to-leading order in perturbative and nonrelativistic expansion for general photon helicity. The approximation includes the first order corrections in the strong coupling con...

We discuss several mechanisms of heavy quark production in (real) photon-nucleon and (real) photon (real) photon collisions. In particular we focuse on application of the Saturation Model. We discuss how to generalize the formula from virtual photon proton scattering and analyze threshold effects. We discuss a possibility to measure the cross section for γγ → 2c2c̄. In addition to the main dipol...

Heavy quark production in γγ collisions has recently received increased theoretical attention 1,2,3 motivated in part by new experimental data on cc and bb production from LEP2 (see 4 for references). Although the data on bb production have sizable errors and the theoretical predictions suffer from uncertainties, the excess by a factor of about three of the data over theoretical predictions rep...
