Factorizing Charm Production in Proton-Proton Collisions with PYTHIA
In this thesis, proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV are simulated using PYTHIA. Charm and anticharm quarks are identified as being produced from direct, meaning that the charm and anticharm are pair produced by a hard scattering, or indirect interactions where the charm and anticharm pair is produced from the splitting of a single gluon. This data is used to generate a pT spectrum and correlation fu
