Charm Cross Sections for the Tevatron Run II

Abstract
We present a calculation of the D^{*+}, D^+ and D^0 meson single inclusive production cross section for the Tevatron Run II. We use the FONLL approach in perturbative QCD, which, besides including the known next-to-leading order corrections, also provides for the resummation at the next-to-leading logarithmic level of terms enhanced at large p_T by powers of log(p_T/m), where m is the charm mass and p_T is its transverse momentum. Non-perturbative effects in charm hadronization are extracted, in moment space, from recent ALEPH data for D^* fragmentation in e^+e^- collisions.
