Precise Measurement of the Inclusive Cross Sections of Open-Charm Mesons at Energies from 3.80 to 4.95 GeV

Using $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collision data collected by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies from $3.80$ to $4.95\text{ GeV}$, the inclusive production cross sections of open-charm mesons, $\sigma (e^{+}{e}^{-}\to D^0\mathrm{/}{D}^{+}\mathrm{/}{D}_s^{+}+X)$, are measured by tagging a $D^0$, $D^{+}$, or $D_s^{+}$ meson, where $X$ denotes any accompanying particles. Open-charm production dominates the total hadronic yield above threshold. Therefore these measurements provide a vital reference for understanding hadron production and for validating global $R$ value results. The results offer crucial inputs for investigating heavier charmonia and exotic states coupled to open-charm final states, while serving as a benchmark for comparison with the sum of measured exclusive channels. This comparison directly evaluates the completeness of current exclusive datasets and clarifies the underlying hadronization mechanisms in the open-charm region.
