Beschreibungen/Notizen
We report differential cross sections for the production of
D
∗±
(2010) produced in 500 GeV/
c
π
−-nucleon interactions from experiment E791 at Fermilab, as functions of Feynman-
x (
x
F
) and transverse momentum squared (
p
T
2). We also report the
D
∗±
charge asymmetry and spin-density matrix elements as functions of these variables. Investigation of the spin-density matrix elements shows no evidence of polarization. The average values of the spin alignment are 〈
η〉=0.01±0.02 and −0.01±0.02 for leading and non-leading particles, respectively.
