A combined analysis of all data on $\nu$ and $\bar{\nu }$ induced single-charm production

Abstract

Neutrino and anti-neutrino induced single-charm production are particularly interesting to study the strange-quark parton distribution function and the threshold effect in the cross-section, associated with the heavy quark production. Over the past 30 years, many experiments have carried out these studies with complementary techniques: calorimetry, bubble chambers and nuclear emulsions. In this paper, we review these data and combine them statistically to extract a world averaged single-charm production cross-section for both neutrino and anti-neutrino.
