Run details: - Minimum bias QCD events, proton–proton interactions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV.

Measurements of differential production cross-sections with respect to transverse momentum, dσ(Hc + c.c.)/dpT, for charm hadron species Hc ∈ {D0, D+, D*(2010)+, Ds+, Λc+} in proton–proton collisions at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}= 7$ TeV. The differential cross-sections are measured in bins of hadron transverse momentum (pT) and rapidity (y) with respect to the beam axis in the region 0 < pT < 8 GeV/c and 2.0 < y < 4.5, where pT and y are measured in the proton–proton CM frame. In this analysis code, it is assumed that the event coordinate system is in the proton–proton CM frame with the z-axis corresponding to the proton–proton collision axis (as usual). Contributions of charm hadrons from the decays of b-hadrons and other particles with comparably large mean lifetimes have been removed in the measurement. In this analysis code, this is implemented by counting only charm hadrons that do not have an ancestor that contains a b quark.
