Measurement of D-meson production at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at $${\sqrt{s}=7}$$ s = 7  TeV

Abstract

The production cross sections for prompt charmed mesons D 0 , D + , D * + and D + s were measured at mid-rapidity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy s = 7 TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). D mesons were reconstructed from their decays
