Description
Due to a technical reason, the Heavy Ion Forum by Pietro Faccioli scheduled this afternoon 24 January in room 40-SS-D01 will actually take place in the AB auditorium, Meyrin (6-2-024)

HERA-B, a fixed-target experiment which used the 920 GeV HERA proton beam and different nuclear targets, is ultimating the analysis of the events acquired during its last run period (2002/2003). The two main data samples consist, respectively, in about 300.000 triggered J/psi's - decaying into muons or electrons - and 200 million minimum-bias events. Central subjects of this presentation are the production of charmonium (J/psi kinematics, decay distributions, nuclear dependence, feeddown from chi_c and psi'), open charm (D mesons cross sections) and beauty (upsilon and b-bbar cross sections).
