In this article, the authors calculate differential energy spectra of charmed particles produced in proton-nucleus collisions, assuming the existence of intrinsic heavy quark components in the proton wave function.Abstract:
We calculate differential energy spectra ($x_F$-distributions) of charmed particles produced in proton-nucleus collisions, assuming the existence of intrinsic heavy quark components in the proton wave function. For the calculation, the recently proposed factorization scheme is used, based on the Color Glass Condensate theory and specially suited for predictions of a production of particles with large rapidities. It is argued that the intrinsic charm component can, if it exists, dominate in a sum of two components, intrinsic + extrinsic, of the inclusive spectrum of charmed particles produced in proton-nucleus collisions at high energies, in the region of medium $x_F$, $0.15 < x_F < 0.7$, and can give noticeable contribution to atmospheric fluxes of prompt muons and neutrinos.read more

Physics of high energy atmospheric muons
TL;DR: In this article, the results of MINOS, OPERA and CMS collaborations are discussed from a theoretical point of view, with the observational evidence of the rise in the muon charge ratio at muon energies around 1 TeV.

Prompt neutrino fluxes from atmospheric charm
TL;DR: In this paper, the prompt neutrino flux from atmospheric charm production by cosmic rays is calculated using the dipole picture in a perturbative QCD framework, which incorporates the parton saturation effects present at high energies.

A modification of the saturation model: DGLAP evolution
TL;DR: The authors modify the saturation model of Golec-Biernat and Wusthoff by including DGLAP evolution and find considerable improvement for the total deep inelastic cross section, in particular in the large Q^2 region.

TL;DR: A significant and systematic decrease of R(dAu) is found with increasing rapidity for charged hadrons produced in deuteron + gold collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV, as a function of collision centrality and of the pseudorapidity.

TL;DR: In this paper, one loop corrections to single-inclusive particle production in parton-nucleus scattering at high energies are considered, treating the target nucleus as a color glass condensate.
