On open charm production in heavy ion collisions
We update the calculation of c - <img id="_x0000_i1026" src="../../img/revistas/bjp/v34n1a/a19img02.gif" align=absbottom>production in the initial stage of nucleus - nucleus collisions and within quark gluon plasma, using the most recent and most accepted values for the ingredients, such as nuclear parton distributions, quark masses, couplings and fireball parameters. We find a large discrepancy in the charm yields, depending on the input choices. A global analysis of all the different cases suggests that the in-plasma production is a significant fraction of the total yield.
