Study of D+ and D- Feynman's x distributions in pi- nucleus interactions at the SPS

The WA82 collaboration Adamovich, M. ; Alexandrov, Y. ; Antinori, F. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 305 (1993) 402-406, 1993.

Inspire Record 354903 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.48370

Experiment WA82 studied charm production by a π − beam of 340 GeV/ c at the CERN Ω′ spectrometer, using a silicon microstrip vertex detector and an impact parameter trigger. Results on the x F distributions of D + and D − mesons are presented and discussed. A clear excess of D − over D + , increasing at high x F , is observed.

We measure the differential cross section with respect to Feynman-x (xF) and transverse momentum (PT) for charm meson production using targets of Be, Al, Cu, and W. In the range 0.1<xF<0.7, dσ/dxF is well fit by the form (1-xF)n with n=3.9±0.3. The difference between n values for D− and D+ is 1.1±0.7. However, we find an asymmetry of 0.18±0.06 favoring the production of D− compared to D+. In the lower PT range, <2 GeV, dσ/dPT2 is well fit by the form exp(-b×PT2) with b=1.03±0.06 GeV−2, while in the higher PT range, 0.8 to 3.6 GeV, it is well fit by the form exp(-b’×PT) with b’=2.76±0.08 GeV−1. The shape of the differential cross section has no significant dependence on atomic mass of the target material.

Nuclear dependence of charm production by a 340-GeV pi- beam

The WA82 collaboration Adamovich, M. ; Alexandrov, Yu. ; Antinori, F. ; et al.

Charmed mesons, produced on silicon, copper and tungsten by 340 GeV π - , have been identified as peaks in invariant mass distributions. The comparison of the yields of charmed particles originating from interactions in Si, Cu and W allows the mass number dependence of the charm hadroproduction cross section to be measured. Assuming the usual parametrization σ c = σ 0 A α , we find α =0.92±0.06 for charmed mesons with 〈 x F 〉=0.24. We do not find any decrease of α with increasing x F in contrast to the case of the production of particles containing only light quarks.

Hadroproduction of D anti-D pairs in the interaction of 350-GeV/c pi- mesons with nuclei

The WA75 collaboration Aoki, S. ; Baroni, G. ; Bisi, V. ; et al.

Prog.Theor.Phys. 87 (1992) 1315-1322, 1992.

Inspire Record 322545 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.48517

Results are presented on the production characteristics of charmed particles obtained from the WA75 emulsion hybrid experiment. The events, selected by the presence of a muon with a high momentum transverse to the beam direction, were located and analysed in nuclear emulsions. Inclusive and correlation properties are systematically compared with the lowest-order QCD calculations for DD hadroproduction. Results concerning the correlation properties indicate some contribution from next-to-leading order [O(α_S^3)] subprocesses.
