Abstract

The hadronic production of charm particle pairs produced in the forward direction has been investigated in study of μ+μ− pairs with large missing energy (indicative of final-state neutrinos). These events result primarily from two semileptonic decays of charm-anticharm states. A comparison of the data with the prediction of the intrinsic charm diffractive model indicates that diffractive production cross sections are small (of the order of a few μb) in both 350 GeV proton and 278 GeV pion interactions.
