Charm production from photo-nucleon reaction in a hadronic model
Abstract
We study the total cross section for photo production of open charm hadrons near threshold using a hadronic Lagrangian. Both two-body final states involving c and a charmed meson as well as three-body final states involving nucleon and a charm-anticharm meson pair are included. With appropriate cut-off parameters in the form factors at interaction vertices, the model gives a total cross section that is consistent with the measured data at center-of-mass energy of 6 GeV. The result is compared with the prediction from the leading-order perturbative QCD.
