The total charm cross section

Journal Article · · European Physical Journal Special Topics , vol. 155, N/A, March 29, 2008, pp. 213-222
OSTI ID:929184
We assess the theoretical uncertainties on the total charm cross section. We discuss the importance of the quark mass, the scale choice and the parton densities on the estimate of the uncertainty. We conclude that the uncertainty on the total charm cross section is difficult to quantify.
