Combining charm results from LHC experiments: Work on going!
Goals of the project
This
HonexComb project aims at combining open charm measurements obtained by the four collaboration in p-p collisions at the LHC.
The goals of this effort are:
- collecting in a common database the relevant charm measurements in pp collisions in a consistent ROOT/txt format.
- providing summary plots to be used in review papers and summary talks.
- provide comprehensive comparisons to theoretical calculations in the various rapidity and transverse momentum regions.
- encourage the development of dedicated tunes for theoretical calculations (e.g. Pythia) that consider the knowledge acquired after 10 years of charm measurements at the LHC.
- favour the creation of common and unique inputs for charm differential cross-sections vs pT and rapidity to be used as input for AA theoretical calculations.
- provide an estimation of the total charm cross section, which incorporates the constraints coming from the various LHC experiments.
