Abstract
Proc. of DIS 2012, 791-794; DESY
I present predictions for the inclusive production of $D$ mesons
at the CERN LHC in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme
at next-to-leading order. Numerical results are compared to data
where available, and uncertainties to scale variations, parton
distribution functions and charm mass are discussed. I point out
that measurements at large rapidity have the potential to pin
down models of intrinsic charm.
