Abstract
We use a two-component model to describe the production
mechanism of D mesons in collisions. The model combines
the usual QCD processes plus fragmentation and recombination of charm that
has been produced by nonperturbative QCD mechanisms.
A hard charm component in the pion must be responsible of the particle
anti-particle production asymmetries observed.
