abstract = "The p(T)-differential production cross sections of prompt and non-prompt
(produced in beauty-hadron decays) D mesons were measured by the ALICE
experiment at midrapidity (|y|< 0.5) in proton-proton collisions at
s = 5.02 TeV. The data sample used in the
analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of (19.3 0.4) nb(-1). D
mesons were reconstructed from their decays D-0 -> K-pi (+), D+-> K-pi
(+)pi (+), and Ds+-> phi pi+-> K-K+pi+ and their charge
conjugates. Compared to previous measurements in the same rapidity
region, the cross sections of prompt D+ and Ds+ mesons
have an extended p(T) coverage and total uncertainties reduced by a
factor ranging from 1.05 to 1.6, depending on p(T), allowing for a more
precise determination of their p(T)-integrated cross sections. The
results are well described by perturbative QCD calculations. The
fragmentation fraction of heavy quarks to strange mesons divided by the
one to non-strange mesons, f(s)/(f(u) + f(d)), is compatible for charm
and beauty quarks and with previous measurements at different
centre-of-mass energies and collision systems. The
bb production cross section per rapidity unit at
midrapidity, estimated from non-prompt D-meson measurements, is
dsigma bb/dyy<0.5=34.52.4stat-2.9+4.7tot.syst mu b. It is
compatible with previous measurements at the same centre-of-mass energy
and with the cross section pre- dicted by perturbative QCD
calculations.![]()
