- Abstract
The electroweak production asymmetry and the decay fragmentation function for have been measured at using charged D* production over the full kinematic range. The data were taken at PEP using the High Resolution Spectrometer. The measured asymmetry is -0.12 +/- 0.08. The total production cross section in units of the point cross section corrected for initial state radiation is RD* = 2.7 +/- 0.9.
