Description
Using ATLAS Run 2 data, proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV center of mass energy are analyzed to measure the properties of charmed particle fragmentation. The process $pp\rightarrow W \pm c$, where the c-quark fragments to a $𝐷^+$ hadron is used. Since quarks are not directly seen from the collision, a jet of particles containing the charmed hadron is used. This is accomplished by comparing the distribution of $z_T$, the ratio of the transverse momentum of the $𝐷^+$ to that of the track jet containing the hadron, to several Monte Carlo generators.
