Open and Hidden Heavy Flavor Production in pp, pA and AA Collisions
In these proceedings we present a brief overview of recent open heavy flavor and quarkonium production theory in proton-proton (pp), proton/deuteron-nucleus (pA, dA) and nucleus-nucleus collisions.
متن کاملOverview of charm production at RHIC
We present an overview of the recent abundant measurements for charm production at RHIC. The significant information of charm cross sections in different collision system at 200 GeV and charmed hadron freeze-out and flow properties extracted from these measurements are presented. The heavy flavor energy loss in the medium and heavy flavor related azimuthal correlations in heavy ion collisions a...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production at the electron-proton collider HERA
An overview over the recent heavy flavor results of the H1 and ZEUS collaborations is presented. Various techniques to tag the heavy quark, which allow to explore different phase space regions, are employed. Predictions of pertubative QCD are compared to the charm and beauty production data. Charm and beauty fractions of the proton structure function F2 are extracted.
متن کاملNOTE on the MASS SQUARE of the ETA ′ MESON
We propose to use as a mathematical tool to study the mass square of the eta ′ meson an infinitely heavy supplementary quark flavor Q. This is understood in the framework of QCD with one light quark flavor (→ n f l light flavors) and the gauge group SU 3 c (→ SU N c). The full system thus consists of n (+) f l = n f l + 1 flavors, including the infinitely heavy one. The purpose of this note is ...
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...
