Hadroproduction of D and B mesons in a massive VFNS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a calculation of the next-to-leading order cross section for the inclusive hadroproduction of D and B mesons as a function of the transverse momentum and the rapidity in a massive variable flavor number scheme. We compare our numerical results with recent data from the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron for the production of D0, D⋆+, D+, and Ds mesons at center-of-mass energy √ S = 1.96 TeV and find reasonably good agreement with the measured cross sections.

Inclusive production of heavy-flavored hadrons at NLO in the GM-VFNS
We summarize recent progress in the theoretical description of heavy-flavored-hadron inclusive production at next-to-leading order in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme. Specifically, we discuss the influence of finite-mass effects on the determination D-meson fragmentation functions from a global fit to ee annihilation data and on the transverse-momentum distribution of B-meson had...
متن کاملEffects of final state interaction in B^+_c to D^0 K^+ decay
In this paper, the decay of Bc+ meson, which consists of two b and c heavy quarks, into the Do and K+ mesons was studied. Given that the experimental branching ratio for this decay was within the range of 3.75*10-5 to 11.16*10-5; it was decided to calculate the theoretical branching ratio by applying the final state interaction (FSI) through the T and cross-section channels. In this process, b...
متن کاملIs there a significant excess in bottom hadroproduction at the tevatron?
We discuss the excess in the hadroproduction of B mesons at the Tevatron. We show that an accurate use of up-to-date information on the B fragmentation function reduces the observed excess to an acceptable level. Possible implications for experimental results reporting bottom quark cross sections, also showing an excess with respect to next-to-leading order theoretical predictions, are discussed.
متن کاملStrangeonium Spectroscopy at the J/G: A Comparison with Kaon Hadroproduction*
An experimental program to study strangeonium mesons produced in the decays of the J/ll, at a r-charm factory is compared with experiments on similar final states in kaon hadroproduction. The sample sizes and experimental performance required are discussed. The complementarity of different production modes and the importance of a broad programmatic approach to this physics are stressed. Present...
متن کاملExclusive J/ψ and Υ hadroproduction as a probe of the QCD
The new analysis of exprimental data on the exclusive hadroproduction processes by the CDF collaboration [1] shows that these types of processes can be objects of detailed study at the Tevatron and in the near future at the LHC. Up to now, the most intensively studied exclusive hadroproduction processes include the dijet or the γγ production in the central rapidity region and the Higgs meson pr...
