Inclusive charm and bottom quark pair production cross sections at hadron colliders at next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy

Abstract The inclusive cross sections for charm (ccbar) and bottom (bbbar) quark-antiquark pair production in proton-proton, proton-antiproton, and proton-nucleus collisions are studied over a wide range of center-of-mass energies, √ s ≈ 10 GeV-400 TeV. All existing data over √ s...
