Abstract: (APS)
The associated production of hadrons containing heavy quarks is studied in the framework of a model based on quark-gluon color gauge field theory [quantum chromodynamics (QCD)]. We assume that the dominant mechanism for the production of heavy quarks in real and virtual photon beams is γ(Q2)V→cc¯ where V denotes a vector gluon and c an arbitrary heavy quark. For π, p, and p¯ beams we consider the mechanisms VV→cc¯ and qq¯→cc¯. The cross sections for the internal subprocesses are calculated at lowest order in the perturbation expansion for QCD. We include a brief discussion of higher-order corrections to our calculation.- QUARK: CHARM
