Figure 4: Total charm cross section with collision energies.

Total charm production cross sections per nucleon-nucleon collision as a function of collision energies. The data points at low energy (<60 GeV) from references[12] were multiplied by 1.5 to take Ds and Lambdac into account. The error bars are combining statistical and systematical uncertainties.
