Heavy-Quark Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the present theoretical and experimental status of heavy quark production in high-energy collisions. In particular, we cover hadroand photoproduction at fixed target experiments, at HERA and at the hadron colliders, as well as aspects of heavy quark production in e+e− collisions at the Z0 peak.

THE ROLE OF QUARK POLARIZATION IN HEAVY QUARK FRAGMENTATION
We calculate the exact fragmentation functions for c and b quark fragmentation taking into account the spin orientation of the initial heavy quark in the form of analytical and rather simple expressions. Our calculations show that spin orientation may have an important effect on the fragmentation spectrum. This effect is more striking in the cases of c ?D, D*; c? ? , ? , and ?B , B *.

متن کاملHeavy quark production in strong non-Abelian field
In the framework of Wigner function formalism we investigated strange and charm quark-pair production in the early stage of heavy ion collisions. According to our model the particle production is initiated by an external time-dependent color field, that simulates an overlap of two colliding ions and color charge separation. The calculations were performed in an SU(2)-color model with finite cur...
متن کاملQcd Corrections to W Boson plus Heavy Quark Production at the Tevatron
The next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of a W -boson in association with a jet containing a heavy quark are presented. The calculation is fully differential in the final state particle momenta and includes the mass of the heavy quark. We study for the case of the Tevatron the sensitivity of the cross section to the strange quark distribution function, the dependence of the ...
متن کاملTwo-loop fermionic corrections to heavy-quark pair production: the quark-antiquark channel
We evaluate the fermionic two-loop QCD corrections to the heavy-quark pair production process in the quark-antiquark channel. We obtain analytic results which are valid for any value of the Mandelstam invariants s and t, and of the heavy quark mass m. Our findings confirm previous results for the analytic evaluation in the small-mass limit and numerical results for the exact amplitude. We furth...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Production in Dis and Hadron Colliders *
The production of heavy quarks in high energy processes has become an increasingly important subject of study both theoretically and experimentally. The theory of heavy quark production in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD) is more challenging than that of light parton (jet) production because of the new physics issues brought about by the additional heavy quark mass scale. The correct ...
