title = "Inclusive production of D-mesons in e+e- annihilation at 7 GeV",
abstract = "Inclusive momentum and energy spectra of neutral and charged D-mesons produced in e+e- annihilation at energies near 7 GeV are presented. The slope of the energy spectrum is similar to the charged pion spectrum at the same energy. The inclusive cross section σ(e+e-→ D or D + anything) at 7 GeV is 4.8±1.3 nb.",

note = "Funding Information: Recently, there has been considerable interest in the dynamical mechanism for fragmentation of heavy quarks into hadrons. Many authors \[1-4\] have proposed a variety of forms for the quark fragmentation function for the charmed quark and have analyzed the recently available data on dilepton \[5\]a nd D-meson \[6\]p roduction by neutrinos trying to obtain some information on its shape. The production of D-mesons in e+e - annihilation provides a particularly clean way for studying the charmed quark fragmentation function. In particular the shape of the differential cross Work supported by the Department of Energy. 1 Present address: Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973. 2 Present address: DeutschesE lektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Hamburg, Germany. a Present address: Rockwell International, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360. 4 Present address: Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Rome, Italy. s Present address: Department of Physics, University of Illinois, Urbana,-IL 61801.
