Abstract

Measurements of heavy quark production at the Tevatron have previously shown discrepancies with theoretical predictions The increased luminosity of Run 2 will allow CDF to investigate b and c quark production more precisely. In this review three measurements, based on a subset of current data, are presented: charm meson production; J/ψ production; production of an energetic photon in conjunction with a b or c quark jet.
