D⁰ meson production in high‐energy pp collisions based on dipole transverse momentum approach

Abstract

By employing the color dipole approach in the momentum representation taking into account the nonlinear behavior of the QCD dynamics, we make predictions for the D‐meson differential cross‐section in terms of the transverse momentum and rapidity distributions considering pp collisions at the LHC. Moreover, a comparison between our results and the corresponding experimental measurements provided by the ALICE and LHCb experiments in different rapidity bins is performed.
