Measurement of charm production at central rapidity in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV

ALICE Collaboration

The $p_{\mathrm{T}}$-differential inclusive production cross sections of the prompt charmed mesons $D^0$, $D^{+}$, and $D^{\ast +}$ in the rapidity range |y|<0.5 were measured in proton-proto…
