Constraints on the intrinsic charm probability $wccm = P_{{mathrm{c}bar mathrm{c}} / mathrm{p}}$ in the proton are obtained for the first time from LHC measurements. The ATLAS Collaboration data for the production of prompt photons, accompanied by a charm-quark jet in pp collisions at $sqrt s = 8 $ TeV, are used. The upper limit mbox{$wccm < 1.93$~%} is obtained at the 68~% confidence level. This constraint is primarily determined from the theoretical scale and systematical experimental uncertainties. Suggestions for reducing these uncertainties are discussed. The implications of intrinsic heavy quarks in the proton for future studies at the LHC are also discussed.
Over the past $sim!! 10$ years, the topic of the nucleons nonperturbative or $textit{intrinsic}$ charm (IC) content has enjoyed something of a renaissance, largely motivated by theoretical developments involving quark modelers and PDF fitters. In thi
We calculate the azimuthal dependence of the heavy-quark-initiated ${cal O}(alpha_{s})$ contributions to the lepton-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS). It is shown that, contrary to the photon-gluon fusion (GF) component, the photon-quark scatte
We investigate charm production in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) using the xFitter program. xFitter is an open-source software framework for the determination of PDFs and the analysis of QCD physics, and has been used for a variety
Despite rather long-term theoretical and experimental studies, the hypothesis of the non-zero intrinsic (or valence-like) heavy quark component of the proton distribution functions has not yet been confirmed or rejected. The LHC with $pp$-collisions
Background: A nonperturbative charm production contribution, known as intrinsic charm, has long been speculated but has never been satisfactorily proven. The SeaQuest experiment at FNAL is in an ideal kinematic region to provide evidence of $J/psi$ p
