Bottom and Charm Production at LHC and RHIC
Abstract
We study bb and cc production and the influence of nuclear shadowing at LHC and RHIC energies. We find a significant reduction in the production cross section of both charm and bottom at RHIC and LHC. Bound states such as and J/ are suppressed by this reduction in the charm production cross sections. Therefore, J/ suppression may not be useful as a signature for the quark gluon plasma.
