Abstract

D^*± production via e⁺e^-→D^*±X has been measured at an average CM energy of 34.4 GeV. The D^*± energy spectrum is hard, with a maximum near χ = 0.6. The size of the D^* cross section, R_D^* = σ(e⁺e^- → D^*X) σ_μμ = 2.50 ± 0.64 ± 0.88 (assuming R_D^*0 = R_D^*+) indicates that a large fraction of charm quark production yields D^* mesons. The D^*± angular distribution exhibits a forward-backward asymmetry, A = -0.28 ± 0.13. This is consistent with that expected in the standard theory for weak neutral currents and leads to |g_A ^c| = 0.89 ± 0.44 for the axial vector coupling of the charm quark.
