Open charm from the electron data
Background subtracted single electron spectra:
Open charm contribution (scaled pp PYTHIA 6.152)
Assuming no thermal radiation contrib. (virtual and/or real+conversion) Þ
scharm (cent) = 380 ± 60 ± 200 mb (per NN coll.)
b ® e (central)
direct g ® e (conv.)
Dashed band = NLO pQCD
Electron spectrum/cross-section consistent
with pp scaled charm production (i.e. no
nuclear or medium effects), but with large
uncertainties.
