Abstract

We propose a modification of the mechanism of charmed quarks fragmentation into D mesons in hadronic collisions. It is shown that the distinction in valence quark distributions in the initial π^± and K^± mesons leads to different inclusive spectra of D and D_s mesons produced in π^± and K^± beams.
