Abstract: | We have calculated the next-to-leading order cross section for the inclusive production of charm quarks as a function of
the transverse momentum pT and the rapidity in two approaches using massive or massless charm quarks. For the single-resolved cross section we have
derived the massless limit from the massive theory. We find that this limit differs from the genuine massless version with
factorization by finite corrections. By adjusting subtraction terms we establish a massive theory with subtraction which approaches the massless theory very fast with increasing transverse momentum. With these results and including
the equivalent results for the direct cross section obtained previously as well as double-resolved contributions, we calculate
the inclusive cross section in collisions using realistic evolved non-perturbative fragmentation functions and compare with recent data from the LEP collaborations
ALEPH, L3 and OPAL. We find good agreement.
