Heavy Flavour Production in Two-Photon Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the production of charm and bottom quarks in two-photon collisions at ee colliders. The next-to-leading order QCD predictions for total cross sections and differential distributions are compared with recent experimental results.

Theory versus experiments in heavy flavour production
I discuss the current status of the comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental data, relevant to the production of open charm and bottom quarks in photon-hadron and photon-photon collisions. I advocate the use of a formalism that matches fixed-order computations to resummed computations in order to make firm statements on heavy flavour production as described by perturbative QCD.

Article history: Received 26 October 2017 Received in revised form 21 November 2017 Accepted 22 November 2017 Available online 5 December 2017 Editor: W.-D. Schlatter This Letter presents the measurement of differential cross sections of isolated prompt photons produced in association with a b-jet or a c-jet. These final states provide sensitivity to the heavy-flavour content of the proton and ...
متن کاملTwo Photon Physics in pp and AA Collisions
In central collisions at relativistic heavy ion colliders like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC/Brookhaven and the Large Hadron Collider LHC (in its heavy ion mode) at CERN/Geneva, one aims at detecting a new form of hadronic matter — the Quark Gluon Plasma. We discuss here a complementary aspect of these collisions, the very peripheral ones. Due to coherence, there are strong electroma...
متن کاملRecent experimental results in heavy flavour production at HERA
A review of recent results involving heavy flavour production at the electron-proton collider HERA is presented. The role which heavy flavour production plays in the understanding of photon and proton structure is emphasised, indicating the areas in which further experimental data and the further development of theoretical calculations will be of particular benefit.

Heavy Quarks will be abundantly produced in Heavy Ion Collisions at LHC energies. Both, the production of open heavy flavoured mesons and quarkonia will probe the strongly interacting medium created in these reactions. In particular, the ALICE detector will be able to measure heavy flavour production down to low transverse momentum, combining leptonic and hadronic channels, covering a large rap...
