摘要：

We measure the neutral D total forward cross section and the differential cross sections as functions of Feynman-x (x(F)) and transverse momentum squared for 500 GeV/c pi(+)-nucleon interactions. The results are obtained from 88990 +/- 460 reconstructed neutral D mesons from Fermilab experiment E791 using the decay channels D-0-->K(-)pi(+) and D-0-->K(-)pi(+)pi(-)pi(+) (and charge conjugates). We extract fit parameters from the differential cross sections and provide the first direct measurement of the turnover point in the x(F) distribution, 0.0131 +/- 0.0038. We measure an absolute D-0 + (D) over bar(0) (x(F) > 0) cross section of 15.4(-2.3)(+1.8) mu barn/nucleon (assuming a linear A dependence). The differential and total forward cross sections are compared to theoretical predictions and to results of previous experiments. (C) 1999 Published by EIsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
