Description
Production measurements of heavy quarks in pp collisions provide a stringent test to pQCD calculations. Analysing their production as a function of charged particle multiplicity allows us to study multi-parton interactions, which are expected to have a relevant role in charged particle production at high energy at the LHC. Moreover, the comparison with theoretical models allows investigating the contribution of colour reconnection in hadronization mechanisms of heavy flavours.
In this poster, the average D-meson (D$^0$, D$^+$, D*$^+$) production measurements as a function of multiplicity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV will be presented. The results will be compared with similar studies for other particle species, with D-meson measurements performed at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV, and with results from Monte Carlo event generators.
