TY - UNPD A1 - Gaździcki, Marek A1 - Markert, Christina T1 - On the measurement of D-meson yield in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN SPS T2 - IKF–HENPG ; 1–99 N2 - We argue that the measurement of open charm gives a unique opportunity to test the validity of pQCD-based and statistical models of nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies. We show that various approaches used to estimate D-meson multiplicity in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A GeV give predictions which differ by more than a factor of 100. Finally we demonstrate that decisive experimental results concerning the open charm yield in A+A collisions can be obtained using data of the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS.
