Abstract
We study the production asymmetry of charm versus anticharm mesons in photo n-proton interactions. We consider photon-gluon fusion plus higher order co rrections in which light quarks through vector meson-proton interactions co ntribute to the cross section. Nonperturbative effects are included in term s of a recombination mechanism which gives rise to a production asymmetry. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
