Résumé : Charm D-meson production in 360 GeV pp interactions has been studied using the high-resolution hydrogen bubble chamber LEBC and the European Hybrid Spectrometer. D-mesons are produced with a differential cross section of the form d2σ dx dpT2δ(1-x)n exp (-apT2), withn=1.8± 0.8 and a=1.1±0.03 GeV/c-2 for the Feynman x and Transverse momentum pT behaviour. The inclusive partle prticle crossssection for D and D̄;measured to be: σ(D/ D ̄) = (56-12 25μb (for all x). The Λc D ̄ cross section can be estimated to be ≈20μb. No strong correlation is observed between DD̄ pairs. The results are compared with results from a study of D-meaon production in 360 GeV/c π-p interactions also using LEBC-EHS. © 1983.
