Abstract

Results of fitting the differential distributions in xF and p2T of D mesons produced in 400 GeV/c p-p interactions to the form d2σ/dxFd p2Tα(1-xF)n exp[−(p2T/‹p2T›)] are discussed. The D+ distribution is found to be relatively hard [n=3.1±0.8≶Pt2≶=1.32±0.27 (GeV/c)2] and the D0 distribution relatively soft [n=8.1±1.9,≶pT2≶=0.62±0.14 (GeV/c)2] compared to the average for all D's [n=4.9±0.5,≶pT2≶=0.99±0.10 (GeV/c)2]. It is suggested that these distributions could reflect contribution of leading di-quarks in pp collisions. Comparison is made with evidence for leading quarks in charm production in 360 GeV/cπ̅p interactions.
