Abstract

Heavy quark production in hadronic collisions is a subject of considerable experi- mental and theoretical interest. There is of course great interest in the searches for the top quark at hadronic colliders, and one needs a theoretical prediction of the hadronic cross section in order to put a bound on the top quark mass[1]. Further- more, heavy quarks produced in hadronic collisions are a copious source of leptons at high p ⊥, and therefore constitute a significant leptonic background, which should be fully understood in order to search for new physics. Finally, there are a large number of charm production experiments, and various theoretical attempt have been made to explain their results.
