[en] The major part of central charm production in pp collision is proposed to arise from a charm (Danti D) component in the hadronization of the scattered quark. We use the charm hadronization model previously developed to explain the like sign dimuon events in neutrino scattering. Thus we have a parameter free prediction for the central charm cross-section relative to the pp total cross-section. The predicted cross-section agrees with data in magnitude as well as in its energy, Feynman x and psub(T) dependence. (orig.)
