Charm Production in γγ Collisions at Lep
Abstract
The latest LEP results on charm production in collisions of real and virtual photons are reviewed. Charm quark have been identified by leptons from semileptonic decays, by reconstructing D* and J/ψ mesons. All current data on the total inclusive charm cross section are shown and compared with theoretical predictions. Production cross-section as a function of the two photon centre-of-mass energy are also presented and compared to NLO QCD predictions.
