Diffractively Produced Charm Final States in 800-GeV / c pp Collisions
Description
We report the first observation of diffractively produced open charm in 800-GeV/c pp collisions of the type pp→pD*X. We measure cross sections of σdiff(D*+)= (0.185±0.044±0.054) μb and σdiff(D*-)= (0.174±0.034±0.029) μb. Our measurements are based on 4.3 x 109 events recorded by FNAL E690 in the fixed-target run of 1991. We compare our results with previous fixed-target charm experiments
