Charged-D/emph>-meson production in e+e- annihilation at √s =29 GeV

The production of charmed D* mesons in e+e- annihilations at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV has been studied using the time-projection-chamber (TPC) detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The production cross section, fragmentation function, and forward-backward asymmetry due to electroweak effects are measured, and a limit on D0-D¯0 mixing is determined.
