چکیده

In Phys. Rev. D 58, 014014 (1998) and 71, 094013 (2005), we determined non-perturbative D, D, D, D s , and Λ + c fragmentation functions, both at leading and next-to-leading order in the MS factorization scheme, by fitting ee data taken by the OPAL Collaboration at CERN LEP1. The starting points for the evolution in the factorization scale μ were taken to be μ0 = 2mQ, where Q = c, b. For the reader’s convenience, in this Addendum, we repeat this analysis for μ0 = mQ, where the flavor thresholds of modern sets of parton density functions are located.

Open charm hadroproduction and the intrinsic charm content of the proton

We advocate charmed-hadron inclusive hadroproduction as a laboratory to probe intrinsic charm (IC) inside the colliding hadrons. Working at next-to-leading order in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme endowed with non-perturbative fragmentation functions recently extracted from a global fit to ee annihilation data from KEKB, CESR, and LEP1, we first assess the sensitivity of Tevatron...

ترکش مزونهای سنگین در LHC

  Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will provide excellent opportunity to study the production and decay of heavy mesons and baryons with high statistics. We aim at the heavy mesons in this work and calculate their fragmentation functions consistent with this machine and present their total fragmentation probabilities and average fragmentation parameters.

Probing Polarized Gluon Distributions through Charmed Hadron Production in Polarized pp Collisions at BNL–RHIC Energy

In order to extract information about behavior of polarized gluons in the nucleon, charmed hadron productions, i.e. D meson and Λ+c baryon productions, are studied in polarized pp reactions at BNL-RHIC energy. For these processes, the spin correlation asymmetry ALL between the target proton and the produced charmed hadron, and its statistical sensitivity δALL are calculated as functions of tran...

Fragmentation Functions for Pions, Kaons, and Protons at Next-to-Leading Order

We present new sets of fragmentation functions for charged pions, charged kaons, and protons, both at the leading and next-to-leading orders. They are fitted to the scaled-momentum distributions of these hadrons measured in e+e− annihilation on the Z-boson resonance at CERN LEP1 and SLAC SLC. These data partly come as light-, charm-, bottom-quark-enriched and gluon-jet samples, which allows us ...

Prediction of charm-production fractions in neutrino interactions

The way a charm-quark fragments into a charmed hadron is a challenging problem both for the theoretical and the experimental particle physics. Moreover, in neutrino induced charmproduction, peculiar processes occur such as quasi-elastic and diffractive charm-production which make the results from other experiments not directly comparable. We present here a method to extract the charmed fraction...
