Abstract

Results of processing experimental data on charm production in hadron-hadron interactions are presented. The analysis is carried out within the frame of the phenomenological model of diffractive production and quark statistics based on the additive quark model. At collider energies 200, 540, 900, 1800 GeV, the values of σ p ¯ p → c c ¯ X ( s ) were obtained by a quark statistics method from the data on diffractive dissociation. It is established, that a logarithmic function with universal numerical parameters describes the whole set of low-energy and high-energy data with high accuracy. The expected values of diffractive charm production cross-sections are σ p p → c c ¯ X = 250 ± 15 μ b and 355 ± 22 μ b at TEVATRON energy s = 1.96 T e V and LHC energy s = 14 T e V respectively. Opportunities to use the obtained results to calibrate the flux of prompt muons of cosmic rays are discussed.
