Open Beauty Production

Erratum to Measurement of Open Beauty Production at HERA,

Heavy-flavor production in pp and Pb–Pb collisions at LHC with ALICE

We report recent results from the ALICE experiment the Large Hadron Collider on open charmed hadron production in pp collisions at ? s “ 2.76 and 7 TeV, and Pb–Pb collisions at sNN “ 2.76 TeV. Open charmed hadrons are kinematically fully reconstructed in the hadronic decay channels D0 Ñ K ́π`, D` Ñ K ́π`π`, and D ̊`p2010q Ñ D0π`and identified through their invariant mass. Combinatorial background ...

A Measurement of the Beauty and Charm Production Cross Sections at the ep Collider HERA

Heavy avor production at HERA is dominated by photoproduction where a quasi real photon scatters o a gluon in the proton While open D and hidden J charm have been measured since the rst real evidence of hidden beauty was seen only in The present analysis measures open beauty and charm photoproduction in the kinematic range Q GeV and yJB and uses data taken with the H detector in the years corre...

Heavy-Flavour Hadro-Production from Fixed-Target to Collider Energies

We review the hadro-production data presently available on open charm and beauty absolute production cross-sections, collected by experiments at CERN, DESY and Fermilab. The published charm production cross-section values are updated, in particular for the “time evolution” of the branching ratios. These measurements are compared to LO pQCD calculations, as a function of the collision energy, us...

Hadroproduction of Charm and Beauty A

Recent results on the hadroproduction of charm and beauty are discussed in the context of the current theoretical and experimental status. The areas covered include production of open charm and beauty particles and charm and beauty quarkonia. Experimental results from both fixed target and colliding beam experiments are presented and compared to theoretical predictions. Predictions based on QCD...
