Photon-charm production in p(anti p) collisions at (radical)s = 1.8 TeV

摘要

The authors present preliminary results of a measurement of inclusive photon-charm production in (anti p)p collisions. Using data collected by the CDF experiment during the 1992--1993 Tevatron collider run, the authors have measured the inclusive photon-muon cross section, and estimated the decay-in-flight and punchthrough backgrounds. They compare the measured photon-muon cross section and photon E(sub T) spectrum to Pythia predictions for the charm Compton contribution.
