Open Charm Production in pp and Heavy Ion Collisions in QCD
C. Merino🇪🇸 · C. Pajares🇪🇸 · Yu. M. Shabelski🇪🇸
Abstract
The RHIC data on charm production are compared with the kT-factorization approach predictions, both standard NLO QCD and FONLL. The calculated results underestimate the STAR Collaboration data. The role of possible nuclear effects is discussed.
