Measurement of D⁎±, D± and Ds± meson production cross sections in pp collisions at s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The production of D⁎±D⁎±, D±D± and Ds± charmed mesons has been measured with the ATLAS detector in pp   collisions at s=7 TeV at the LHC, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 280 nb−1280 nb−1. The charmed mesons have been reconstructed in the range of transverse momentum 3.5
