Heavy Flavour Production in High Energy Electron-Proton Collisions: Theoretical Issues and Expectations at HERA and Beyond

  • Chapter
Heavy Flavours and High-Energy Collisions in the 1–100 TeV Range

Part of the book series: Ettore Majorana International Science Series ((PHYSC,volume 44))

Abstract

I review the status of the theory of heavy quark production in ep collisions. The various production modes are discussed and cross-section estimates given. Uncertainties in the theoretical cross-section calculation are investigated. The characteristics of heavy quark production inep collisions are outlined.
