Heavy Flavour Production in Hadron-Hadron Collisions

Open charm production in hadron-hadron interactions has already been extensively studied and reported by several authors1-5. Recently, also the first open beauty state has been identified as the ⋀ baryon, in the experiment R415 performed at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR)6, where charmed-particle production distribution has also been widely studied7-11.
