Abstract:The magnetic field created in high energy nuclear collisions will affect the QCD dynamical processes, such as the heavy quark production which happens in the initial stage of the collisions. We calculate in a strong magnetic field the heavy quark production cross section of the process $$ gg\to Q\overline{Q} $$
