Abstract

Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring, we have measured the scaled momentum spectra, dσ/dxp, and the inclusive production cross sections of the charm mesons D+, D 0, D*+, and D*0 in e +e- annihilation at about 10.5 GeV center of mass energy, excluding the decay products of B mesons. The statistical accuracy and momentum resolution are superior to previous measurements at this energy.
