Charm and Anticharm—Not Quite the Same

چکیده

From what we can observe, there is no symmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe. All structures, from unimaginably large clusters of galaxies to microscopic human cells, are made of matter: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Though it is possible to produce antimatter—antiprotons, antineutrons, and positrons—in high-energy particle collisions, and even make medical use of positrons, antimatter seems to have disappeared from the Universe at large.

Charm-Anticharm Asymmetries in Photoproduction from Perturbative Recombination

The asymmetries between charm and anticharm mesons observed in fixedtarget photoproduction experiments are an order of magnitude larger than the asymmetries predicted by conventional perturbative QCD. We show that these charm meson asymmetries can be explained by a perturbative recombination mechanism for heavy meson production. In this process, a charm quark combines with a light antiquark fro...

Charm-anticharm baryon production asymmetries in photon-nucleon interactions

We report measurements of the charm-anticharm production asymmetries for Λc , Σ c , Σ 0 c , Σ ++∗ c , Σ 0∗ c , and Λ + c (2625) baryons from the Fermilab photoproduction experiment FOCUS (E831). These asymmetries are integrated over the region where the spectrometer has good acceptance. In addition, we have obtained results for the photoproduction asymmetries of the Λc baryons as functions of p...

QCD corrections to the light-Higgs-boson decay into a charm-anticharm or bottom-antibottom pair within the minimal supersymmetric model.

We present the results of the contributions to the decay rate of the lightest Higgs particle into a charm-anticharm and bottom-antibottom pair within the minimal supersymmetric standard model when scalar quarks and a gluino are taken within the relevant loop diagrams. We show that in the case where the vacuum expectation values of the Higgs particles obey the condition v1 ≪ v2 the scalar quarks...

Λ + c − Λ − c production asymmetries in two component models

Experiments on charm hadroproduction have shown a substantial difference in the production of charm and anticharm hadrons. In this work we study Λ+ c and Λ c inclusive production in p−N interactions in the framework of two component models. We show that the recombination two component model gives a qualitatively and quantitatively good description of Λ c production while the intrinsic charm mod...

Charm-Anticharm Asymmetries in Photoproduction from Heavy-Quark Recombination

The asymmetries between charm and anticharm mesons observed in fixedtarget photoproduction experiments are an order of magnitude larger than the asymmetries predicted by conventional perturbative QCD. We show that these charm meson asymmetries can be explained by a heavy-quark recombination mechanism for heavy meson production. In this process, a charm quark combines with a light antiquark from...
