Inelastic photoproduction of J/ψ particles at high energies is one of the processes to determine the gluon distribution in the nucleon. We have calculated the QCD radiative corrections to the color-singlet model of this reaction. They are large at moderate photon energies, but decrease with increasing energies. The cross section and the J/ψ energy spectrum are compared with the available fixed-target photoproduction data and predictions are given for the HERA energy range. * Supported in part by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG † Present address: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY,
Baryons with a single heavy quark are being studied experimentally at present.Baryons with two units of heavy flavor will be abundantly produced not only at future colliders, but also at existing facilities. In this paper we study the production via heavy quark fragmentation of baryons containing two heavy quarks at the Tevatron, the LHC, HERA, and the NLC. The production rate is woefully small at HERA and at the NLC, but significant at pp and pp machines. We present distributions in various kinematical variables in addition to the integrated cross sections at hadron colliders.
