Differential heavy quark pair production at small x

Abstract We consider the production of a heavy quark pair in proton–proton collisions. For bottom and charm quarks, the final state invariant mass is typically much smaller than the collider energy (e.g. at the LHC), so that high-energy logarithms may spoil the perturbativity of the theoretical pred...
