We measure the differential cross section with respect to Feynman-x (xF) and transverse momentum (PT) for charm meson production using targets of Be, Al, Cu, and W. In the range 0.1<xF<0.7, dσ/dxF is well fit by the form (1-xF)n with n=3.9±0.3. The difference between n values for D− and D+ is 1.1±0.7. However, we find an asymmetry of 0.18±0.06 favoring the production of D− compared to D+. In the lower PT range, <2 GeV, dσ/dPT2 is well fit by the form exp(-b×PT2) with b=1.03±0.06 GeV−2, while in the higher PT range, 0.8 to 3.6 GeV, it is well fit by the form exp(-b’×PT) with b’=2.76±0.08 GeV−1. The shape of the differential cross section has no significant dependence on atomic mass of the target material.

Results on the photoproduction of 10 000 fully reconstructed charmed particles from the 108 recorded triggers of Fermilab experiment E691 have been analyzed in the photon-gluon-fusion model. We find that the total cross section, its rise with energy, and the pT2 and xF distributions can be explained by a high mass for the charm quark (mc=1.74−0.18+0.13 GeV/c2) and a soft-gluon distribution [G(x)∼(1-x)gn, where ng=7.1±2.2].

We present results on the photoproduction of 10 000 charmed particles from the 108 recorded triggers of Fermilab experiment E691. The total cross section for the photoproduction of D0 and D+ particles (and antiparticles) for xF>0.2 is measured to be 3.88±0.06±0.40 μb/Be nucleus at 〈Eγ〉=145 GeV. We have also measured the relative production of different charmed particles, their pT2 and xF distributions, and the energy dependence of the total charm cross section. The mean pT2 is 1.16±0.04 GeV2/c2 and the ratio of charm cross sections at 200 and 100 GeV is 1.96±0.24. Results of fits to the xF distribution are also reported.
