Open charm production at RHIC
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent experimental measurements on open charm production in proton-proton, proton (deuteron)-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC are reviewed. A comparison with theoretical predictions is made. Some unsettled issues in open charm production call for precise measurements on directly reconstructed open charm hadrons.

Hidden Charm Production in Au + Au Collisions at RHIC Energies
We consider various possibilities for the production of open charm and J/ψ at RHIC energies in heavy ion collisions. We discuss several recently developed pictures for J/ψ production and argue that a measurement at RHIC energies is crucial for disentangling these different descriptions. Typeset using REVTEX
متن کاملOpen and Hidden Charm Production in Heavy Ion Collisions at Ultrarelativistic Energies
We consider the production of the open charm and J/ψ mesons in heavy ion collisions at BNL RHIC. We discuss several recently developed pictures for J/ψ production and argue that a measurement at RHIC energies is crucial for disentangling these different descriptions. Typeset using REVTEX
متن کاملOpen and Hidden Charm Production in dA Collisions at RHIC and LHC
We discuss aspects of open and hidden charm production in deuterium-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. We describe calculations of the total cc cross section and the charm quark transverse momentum distributions. We next explain how shadowing and moderate nuclear absorption can explain the PHENIX J/ψ dAu/pp ratios and predict the combined effect of shadowing and absorption in 6.2 TeV ...
متن کاملStatistical hadronization of charm at SPS, RHIC and LHC
We study the production of charmonia and charmed hadrons for nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies within the framework of the statistical hadronization model. Results from this model are compared to the observed centrality dependence of J/ψ production at SPS energy. We further provide predictions for the centrality dependence of the production of open and hidden charm meson...
متن کاملMeasurement of Open Heavy Flavor Production in the STAR experiment at RHIC
We present the STAR results of non-photonic electron measurements and direct reconstruction of charm mesons at √ sNN = 200 GeV. We also briefly outline the future perspectives of studying open heavy flavor production at RHIC.
