چکیده
At the HERA collider at DESY, high energy electron and positron beams interact with proton beams. A review is presented of the variety of ways in which these collisions produce final states containing charm and beauty quarks.

متن کاملRecent experimental results in heavy flavour production at HERA
A review of recent results involving heavy flavour production at the electron-proton collider HERA is presented. The role which heavy flavour production plays in the understanding of photon and proton structure is emphasised, indicating the areas in which further experimental data and the further development of theoretical calculations will be of particular benefit.
متن کاملHeavy quark production and spectroscopy at HERA
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 b...
متن کاملSe p 19 96 Heavy Flavour Decays - Introduction and Summary
We review some selected topics in the decays of heavy flavours, beauty and charm, which are of principal interest at HERA-B and HERA. The topics in B physics include: an update on the quark mixing matrix and CP violating phases, issues bearing on an improved resolution on the CP-violating phase ∆(sin 2β), prospects of measuring radiative and semileptonic rare B decays, the B 0 s-B 0 s mixing ra...
متن کاملThe Heavy-Flavour Contribution to Proton Structure
We present theoretical and experimental considerations pertaining to deeply inelastic heavyflavour production at HERA. The various theoretical uncertainties in the cross section calculation are discussed. Cuts are imposed to determine the fraction of charm production accessible to the detectors. The production of charm at asymptotic Q and bottom production are also covered. Experimental aspects...
