Abstract
We present results from the first holographic bubble chamber experiment. Using topological information on the events observed in the heavy liquid bubble chamber HOBC, we have determined a total charm pair production cross section of (24.6-8.3+12.0) μb and (3.9-1.9+2.5) μb in 360 GeV/c and 200 GeV/c proton-nucleon interactions respectively. For these estimates we assumed a linear dependence of the charm cross section on the atomic number A.Keywords
