Hadroproduction of charm particles
Description
Charm hadroproduction is in its second generation in experiment and theory. There is no recent evidence for the large effects that are not easily explained in QCD models. There is evidence for similarity in the gluon structure functions in pions and kaons, and softer gluon distributions in protons. The fragmentation process for charm quarks appears to be very hard. Topics included in this discussion are a brief history of measurements and theory, a discussion of techniques, QCD theory of charm hadroproduction, recent data on inclusive charm hadroproduction, correlations in the production of charm pairs, and nuclear target dependence. 79 refs., 10 figs., 5 tabs
