Measurement of prompt open-charm production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV
Abstract: The production cross section for prompt open-charm mesons is measured in proton-proton collisions at the LHC center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 29 nb$^{-1}$ collected by the CMS experiment in 2016. The differential cross sections of the $\mathrm{D}^{*\pm}$, $\mathrm{D}^{\pm}$, and $\mathrm{D}^0$($\mathrm{\bar D^0}$) mesons are presented in bins of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity in the range 4 $ < p_{\rm T} < $ 100 GeV and $|\eta| < $ 2.1, respectively. The results are also compared to several theoretical calculations and to previous measurements.
