On LEADING CHARMED MESON PRODUCTION IN Π–NUCLEON INTERACTIONS

Abstract: It is shown that the D-meson, whose light quark is the initial-pion valence quark and whose charmed quark is produced in annihilation of valence quarks and has got a large enough momentum, is really a leading meson in reactions like π − p → DX. If such annihilation of valence quarks from initial hadrons is impossible there must be no distinct leading effect.

“…The neutral D mesons in Fig. 2(c Other final-state coalescence models have been proposed, including a valence spectator recombination model [31] and the valon model [32]. Two important unknowns in these models are the correlation between the charmed quark and the valence spec-tator in the recombination function and the n-particle parton distributions of the spectator and participant valence quarks.…”

“…In the scenario described in [9] for π − proton collisions, the annihilation of a u quark from the proton and the ū quark in the pion would liberate the d of the pion which in turn recombines to form a D − and certainly not a D + . On a similar base a ρ 0 proton collision will favor the production of D0 and D − over D 0 and D + depending on the quantum state of the colliding ρ 0 at the interaction point (see Fig.…”

“…Such reactions are usually analyzed within the hard parton scattering model (HPSM) suggested in [1,2]. This model was applied to the charmed meson production both in proton-proton and meson-proton interactions at high energies, see for example [3]. The HPSM is significantly improved by applying the QCD parton approach [4,5], see details in [6] and references therein.…”
