On the kinematic limit of the charm production in fixed-target experiments with the intrinsic charm from the target

Abstract

In this note we provide a detailed derivation of the kinematic limit of the charm production in fixed-target experiments with the intrinsic charm coming from the target. In addition, we discuss the first measurement of charm quark production in the fixed-target configuration at the LHC.
