charmed mesons D-0, D+, and D*(+) in the rapidity range vertical bar y
vertical bar < 0.5 were measured in proton-proton collisions at root s =
7 TeV at the LHC using the ALICE detector. Reconstructing the decays D-0
-> K-pi(+), D+ -> K-pi(+)pi(+), D*(+) -> D-0 pi(+), and their charge
conjugates, about 8,400 D-0, 2,900 D+, and 2,600 D*(+) mesons with 1 <
p(t) < 24 GeV/c were counted, after selection cuts, in a data sample of
3.14 x 10(8) events collected with a minimum-bias trigger (integrated
luminosity L-int = 5 nb(-1)). The results are described within
uncertainties by predictions based on perturbative QCD."
