Heavy Quark Production in Parton Model and in QCD

Abstract

The cross sections of heavy quark production in $pp$ collision and for their photo- and electroproduction are calculated in the framework of QCD. The virtual nature of the interacting gluons as well as their transverse motion and different polarizations are taken into account. The obtained cross sections exhibit more rapid growth with the initial energy than the parton model predictions and the $p_T$ distributions of produced heavy quarks are more smooth.
