Heavy quark photoproduction in proton-proton collisions
V. P. Goncalves, M. V. T. Machado
Abstract
We calculate the photoproduction of heavy quarks in proton-proton collisions at RHIC, Tevatron and LHC energies. The integrated cross section and the rapidity distributions for open charm and bottom production are computed employing sound high energy QCD formalisms. For the linear pQCD approaches we consider both the usual collinear factorization and the kT-factorization formalisms, whereas for the nonlinear QCD (saturation) calculations one considers the Golec-Biernat-Wuesthoff and the Iancu-Itakura-Munier parameterizations for the dipole cross section within the color dipole picture.
