Abstract

The NA 32 experiment at the CERN SPS has collected 38 million hadronic interactions with incident 200 GeV/c π-, K- and p beam. Using a segmented silicon active target and a telescope of high resolution silicon microstrip counters we have selected fully reconstructed D0→K-π+, D0→K-π+π+π-, D+→K-π+π+, Ds+→K-K+π+π+ and charge conjugate decays. The integrated cross-sections for Do, D+D*+ and Ds+ meson production and the dependence of the cross-section on longitudinal and transverse momentum of the D are presented.
