The + c production cross section, as well as the + c to + c production cross-section ratio, are measured as a function of the transverse momentum and rapidity and compared to the latest theory predictions. The forward-backward asymmetry is also measured as a function of the + c transverse momentum. The results provide strong constraints on theoretical calculation and are a unique input for hadronization studies in different collision systems.14 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 2024Col·lisions (Física)HadronsCromodinàmica quànticaCollisions (Physics)HadronsQuantum chromodynamicsMeasurement of + c production in pPb collisions at √sNN = 8.16 TeV at LHCbinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7564332025-06-10info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
