Inclusive Heavy - Flavor Production from Nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a light-cone wave function formulation for hadroproduction of heavy-flavors at high energies. At moderate values of xF heavy-flavor production can be viewed as a diffractive excitation of heavy quark-antiquark Fock states, present in the interacting gluon from the projectile. The approach developed here is well suited to address coherence effects in heavyquark production from nuclei at small values of xt ∼ 0.1 ·A−1/3. To be published in Z. Phys. A. ) Work supported in part by BMBF.

متن کاملQuantum coherence in heavy-flavor production on nuclei
We describe a light-cone wave function formalism for hadroproduction of heavy-flavors via gluon-gluon fusion. The developed approach is well suited to address coherence effects in heavy-quark production on nuclei at small x2 ∼ < 0.1·A . Nuclear attenuation in hadroproduction of heavy-flavors is found to be similar to shadowing effects for heavy-flavor structure functions in deep-inelastic scatt...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Fragmentation and Decay at Sld
Results on heavy quark fragmentation obtained using the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider are presented. This talk will cover the ratio of vector to pseudoscalar charmed meson production, the inclusive B hadron energy distribution, the inclusive particle production in heavy jets compared to their production in light jets, and charged and neutral B meson lifetimes.
متن کاملInclusive production of heavy-flavored hadrons at NLO in the GM-VFNS
We summarize recent progress in the theoretical description of heavy-flavored-hadron inclusive production at next-to-leading order in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme. Specifically, we discuss the influence of finite-mass effects on the determination D-meson fragmentation functions from a global fit to ee annihilation data and on the transverse-momentum distribution of B-meson had...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production in Star
In this contribution, the STAR collaboration at RHIC reports on measurements related to heavy flavor production. We present results from D meson production, and from indirect reconstruction of heavy flavor via semi-leptonic decays, including low transverse momentum muons and the inclusive yield of non-photonic electrons. We focus on the non-photonic electrons, and present results over a broad r...
