Abstract: (Elsevier)
The cross sections for D0D¯0 and D+D− production at 3.773 GeV have been measured with BES-II detector at BEPC. These measurements are made by analyzing a data sample of about 17.3 pb −1 collected at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV. Observed cross sections for the charm pair production are radiatively corrected to obtain the tree level cross section for DD¯ production. A measurement of the total tree level hadronic cross section is obtained from the tree level DD¯ cross section and an extrapolation of the Ruds below the open charm threshold.
