Abstract	At the CERN intersecting storage ring the inclusive differential cross section (d sigma /d sigma )/sub y=1/ has been measured for f/sup 0/, g /sup 0/, K*/sup 0/(1420), and K*/sup 0/(1420) production: the authors obtain 0.58+or-0.05 mb, 0.09+or-0.05 mb, 38+or-15 mu b, and 26+or-12 mu b, respectively. The corresponding total inclusive cross sections are estimated to be 2.62+or-0.26 mb, 0.40+or-0.22 mb, 154+or-60 mu b, and 107+or-52 mu b, respectively. The magnitude of the K* cross section implies a cross section of approximately 5 mu b for production of a charmed DD pair. (6 refs).
