N2  - Within this thesis, the prompt production of the D*+(2010) meson and its anti-particle has been measured in the D*+ ->D0 (K- pi+) pi+ decay channel at mid-rapidity from p-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ALICE apparatus.
The production differential cross section is presented in ten intervals in the transverse momentum range 1 < pT < 24 GeV/c. The measured differential cross section of prompt D*+(2010) meson production is described by state-of-the-art perturbative QCD calculations within the framework of FONLL and GM-FVNS within rather large uncertainties in both experiment and calculations. Hadronization of charm into light flavor (d) D mesons allows for a description within the statistical model. The total charm production cross section was extracted by additionally taking into account the ALICE measurements on the prompt production of D0 and D+ mesons. Fair agreement with results from other LHC experiments ATLAS and LHCb is found.
