Popis: The e/ π ratios at low p T observed in pp collisions at √ s = 53 GeV are analysed as a function of R , the ratio of the total number of electrons integrated over electron energies to the total number of pions integrated over pion energies. It is found that R is independent of the decay kinematics and very insensitive to the production dynamics of the parent particles. The total parent cross section times the branching ratio into an electron is calculated, and the result is interpreted as either the total inclusive cross section for production of charmed particles, or as the total cross section for single photons in pp collisions.
