Heavy-flavour hadrons are produced in the early stages of ultra-relativistic collisions at the LHC via hard partonic interactions and experience the whole system evolution. The study of prompt and non-prompt $D^{0}$ mesons provides an…
The way a charm-quark fragments into a charmed hadron is a challenging problem both for the theoretical and the experimental particle physics. Moreover, in neutrino induced charm-production, peculiar processes occur such as quasi-elastic…

Neutral orbitally excited P-wave charm mesons have been reconstructed in the D*+-pi-+ final state and the charm-strange meson D+-s1(2536) was found in the D*+-K0s final state. A search for radially excited charm mesons in the D*+-pi+pi-…
We present a study of correlations between D and $\bar{D}$ mesons produced in 500 GeV/$c$ $\pi^-$-nucleon interactions, based on data from experiment E791 at Fermilab. We have fully reconstructed $791 \pm 44$ charm meson pairs to study…
