The A Dependence of Open Charm and Bottom Production
نویسنده
چکیده
We study inclusive heavy quark and exclusive heavy quark pair production in pp, pA and AA interactions. Intrinsic transverse momentum is introduced in pp interactions. Nuclear effects, limited to kT broadening and nuclear shadowing, are introduced in pA and AA interactions. The nuclear dependence is studied over a range of energies, both in fixed target and collider setups.

Bi-tp 63/94 Quarkonium Production in Hadronic Collisions
We summarize the theoretical description of charmonium and bottonium production in hadronic collisions and compare it to the available data from hadron-nucleon interactions. With the parameters of the theory established by these data, we obtain predictions for quarkonium production at RHIC and LHC energies. To appear in Hard Processes in Hadronic Interactions H. Satz and X.-N. Wang (Editors) 1 ...
متن کاملQCD Predictions for Charm and Bottom Production at RHIC
We present up-to-date QCD predictions for open charm and bottom production at RHIC in nucleon-nucleon collisions at √ S = 200 GeV. The electron spectrum resulting from heavy flavor decays is also evaluated for direct comparison to the PHENIX and STAR data. These predictions seek to establish a rigorous benchmark, including the theoretical uncertainties, against which nuclear collision data can ...
متن کاملOpen charm production in an equilibrating parton plasma.
Open charm production during the equilibration of a gluon dominated parton plasma is calculated, with both the time-dependent temperature and parton densities given by a set of rate equations. Including pre-thermal production, the total enhancement of open charm production over the initial gluon fusion depends sensitively on the initial parton density and the effective temperature. The dependen...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Charm and Bottom Production
We discuss the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of charm and bottom production both at xed-target energies and at present and future colliders. We investigate whether distributions calculable at leading order can be extrapolated to next-to-leading order by a constant multiplicative factor. ? This work was supported in part by the Director, O ce of Energy Research, Division of ...
متن کاملCharmonium Production and Corona Effect
We study the centrality dependence to be expected if only charmonium production in the corona survives in high energy nuclear collisions, with full suppression in the hot, deconfined core. To eliminate cold nuclear matter effects as far as possible, we consider the ratio of charmonium to open charm production. The centrality dependence of this ratio is found to follow a universal geometric form...
