Abstract

The diffractive heavy quark cross sections are estimated considering photon-Pomeron (γP) interactions in hadron-hadron colliders at RHIC, Tevatron, and CERN LHC energies. We assume the validity of the hard diffractive factorization and calculate the charm and bottom total cross sections and rapidity distributions using the diffractive parton distribution functions of the Pomeron obtained by the H1 Collaboration at DESY-HERA. Moreover, we compare our predictions with those obtained using the dipole model. We verify that this process is a good test of the different mechanisms for diffractive heavy quark production at hadron-hadron colliders.
