Abstract
The inclusive production of D(+/-) mesons in photon-photon collisions has been measured by the Aleph experiment at LEP with a beam energy o f 45 GeV. The D(+) are detected in their decay to D-0 pi(+) with the D-0 observed in three separate decay modes: (1) K(-)pi(+), (2) K(-)pi( +)pi(0) and (3) K(-)pi(+)pi(-)pi(+), and analagously for the D(-) mod es. A total of 33 events was observed from an integrated luminosity of 73 pb(-1) which corresponds to a cross section for sigma(e(+)e(-) --> e(+)e(-)D(+/-)X) of 155+/-33+/-21 pb, This result is compatible with both the direct production gamma gamma --> <c(c)over bar> in the Born approximation and with a more complete calculation which includes bot h radiative QCD corrections and contributions in which one of the phot ons is first resolved into its quark and gluon constituents. The shape s of distributions for events containing a D(+) are found to be bette r described by the latter.
