Abstract | The charm meson D^{+} is observed in (pp) interactions at 62 GeV centre-of-mass energy, in association with its antimeson, D^{-} or D^{0}. The cross-section for (D^{+}D) pair production is evaluated according to various hypotheses on the production mechanisms. The value of the cross-section is found to be approximately 300 mu b when both the D^{+} and the D are assumed to be 'centrally' produced. |
