چکیده
Recent experimental results on phow and hadmpmduction of heavy flavor particles are reviewed. After a short introduction on the recent advances in the theoretical ideas describing the production of heavy flavors, current experimental techniques used in heavy flavor search in fixed target experiments an? briefly discussed. New results on the production characteristics, production ctoss section and on the A-dependence of the open and hidden charm cross section arc presented. @ S. Kwan 1991 -319-

Heavy flavor production and the properties of sQGP at top energies
We present the recent heavy flavor measurements in the STAR experiment and briefly discuss the STAR future heavy flavor physics program with the newly installed Heavy Flavor Tracker and Muon Telescope Detector.
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production and Decay
Recent theoretical results on heavy flavor production and decay in the framework of perturbative QCD are reviewed. This includes calculations for top production at hadron colliders, inclusive charmonium production and the comparison between the singlet and octet mechanisms. Predictions for heavy flavor production in e+e− annihilation will be discussed in some detail, covering both the threshold...
متن کاملMeasurement of Open Heavy Flavor Production with Single Muons in p+p and d+Au Collisions at RHIC
Heavy flavor production in hadronic collisions is dominated by gluonic processes and so is a sensitive probe of the gluon structure function in the nucleon and its modification in nuclei. A study of heavy flavor production in p+p and d+Au collisions in various kinematic regions presents an opportunity to probe cold nuclear medium effects; parton shadowing, color glass condensate, initial state ...
متن کاملStatistical hadronization of heavy flavor quarks in elementary collisions: successes and failures
We analyze recently compiled data on the production of open heavy flavor hadrons and quarkonia in ee as well as pp and p-nucleus collisions in terms of the statistical hadronization model. Within this approach the production of open heavy flavor hadrons is well described with parameters deduced from a thermal analysis of light flavor hadron production. In contrast, quarkonium production in such...
متن کاملSpin Dependent Fragmentation Functions for Heavy Flavor Baryons and Single Heavy Hyperon Polarization∗
Spin dependent fragmentation functions for heavy flavor quarks to fragment into heavy baryons are calculated in a quark-diquark model. The production of intermediate spin 1/2 and 3/2 excited states is explicity included. Λb , Λc and Ξc production rate and polarization at LEP energies are calculated and, where possible, compared with experiment. A different approach, also relying on a heavy quar...
