Abstract

We calculate the A-dependences of open charm and beauty production cross sections on air nuclear targets taking into account the difference of quark and gluon distributions in free and bound nucleons. The results are presented for the cases of nucleon, 14 N and iron beams. For the case of heavy flavour production at high energies, if σ ~ A α , the values of α are smaller than unity.
