Discrepancies between leading order calculations of color-octet contributions and the momentum distribution of J/psi observed by Belle and BaBar are resolved by resumming large perturbative and nonperturbative corrections that are enhanced near the kinematic endpoint. The large cross sections for J/psi + c + \\bar c and double quarkonium production remain poorly understood. Nonperturbative effects in fixed-target hadroproduction of open charm are also discussed. Large asymmetries in the production of charm mesons and baryons probe nonperturbative corrections to the QCD factorization theorem. A power correction called heavy-quark recombination can economically explain these asymmetries with a few universal parameters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-12-19T04:13:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heavy quark", "quarkonium production remain poorly understood", "developments", "nrqcd factorization theorem", "baryons probe nonperturbative corrections" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 635809 } } }
