Heavy-quark production in two-photon collisions
Abstract
Heavy quarks are copiously produced in two-photon collisions at e+e- colliders. We present the inclusive production rates and the final state distributions of the quarks, including QCD radiative corrections for the leading subprocesses. The results are compared with recent measurements of charmed particle production at PETRA and PEP, and predictions are given for TRISTAN and LEP energies.
