Abstract

We have calculated charm pair production in ν_μN collisions using quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The resulting trimuon rate turns out to be small at present energies: σ(3μ) σ(1μ)≲10^-6 at E_ν = 200 GeV for α_s = 0.2. (However, this process may be measurable at the high energies attainable with colliding beam ep machines.) We emphasize the general importance of looking for inclusive J Ψ or the bound states of heavier flavors in deep inelastic reactions, as a signal for the pair production of heavy quarks.
