Charmed-meson production by 350 GeV/c π − particles incident on copper and tungsten targets has been studied in the WA92 experiment, performed at the CERN Ω′ spectrometer. Results obtained are reported and discussed. Reconstruction of decays from the set D 0 → K − π + D 0 → K − π − π + π + , D s + → φπ + and charge conjugates has yielded a sample of 7280 ± 108 charmed mesons, produced with χ F > 0, ( χ F ) = 0.18 and〈 p T 2 〉 = 1.86 ( GeV / c ) 2 . Assuming a relationship σ = σ 0 A α between the cross section, σ, per nucleus of mass A and the nucleonic cross section, σ 0 the α value found for the detected charmed particles is 0.95 ± 0.06 ± 0.03. Taking α = 1, the measured cross sections per nucleon for χ F > 0 production are 7.78 ± 0.14 ± 0.52 μ b for D 0 / D 0 , 3.28 ± 0.08 ± 0.29 μ b for D + /D − and 1.29 ± 0.16 ± 0.33 μ b for D s + /D s − . Differential cross sections with respect to χ F and p T 2 have been determined for the various types of charmed meson, and particle-antiparticle asymmetries have been analysed.

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.
