CERN-LHC. The production cross sections of the prompt charmed mesons $D^0$, $D^+$, $D^{*+}$ and $D_s$ were measured at mid-rapidity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). D mesons were reconstructed from their decays $D^0\to K\pi, D^+\to K\pi\pi$, $D^{*+} \to D^0\pi \to K\pi\pi$, $D_s \to\phi \pi \to KK\pi $, and their charge conjugates. With respect to previous measurements in the same rapidity region, the coverage in transverse momentum pt is extended and the uncertainties are reduced by a factor of about two. The accuracy on the estimated total c-cbar production cross section is likewise improved. The measured pT-differential cross sections are compared with the results of three perturbative QCD calculations.
