Measurement of D∗±, D± and D±s meson production cross sections in pp collisions at √s=7TeVwith the ATLAS detector

Abstract

The production of D∗±, D±and D±scharmed mesons has been measured with the ATLAS detector in ppcollisions at √s=7TeVat the LHC, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 280nb−1. The charmed mesons have been reconstructed in the range of transverse momentum 3.5
