We make up-to-date QCD predictions for open charm and bottom production at RHIC in nucleon-nucleon collisions at square root of S=200 GeV. We also calculate the electron spectrum resulting from heavy flavor decays to allow direct comparison to the data. A rigorous benchmark, including the theoretical uncertainties, is established against which nuclear collision data can be compared to obtain evidence for nuclear effects.
我们对在√S = 200 GeV的核子-核子碰撞中,相对论重离子对撞机(RHIC)上的开放粲夸克和底夸克产生进行了最新的量子色动力学(QCD)预测。我们还计算了重味衰变产生的电子能谱,以便与数据进行直接比较。建立了一个严格的基准,包括理论不确定性,可将核碰撞数据与其进行比较,以获得核效应的证据。
