| dc.description.abstract | Measurement of Z bosons produced in association with charm jets (Zc) in proton-proton collisions in the forward region provides a direct probe of a potential nonperturbative (intrinsic) charm component in the proton wave function. We provide a detailed study of the potential to measure Zc production at the LHCb experiment in Runs 2 and 3 of the LHC. The sensitivity to valence-like (sea-like) intrinsic charm is predicted to be ⟨x⟩[subscript IC] ≳ 0.3%(1%). The impact of intrinsic charm on Higgs production at the LHC, including Hc, is also discussed in detail. | en_US |
