Description
I present predictions for the inclusive production of D- and B-mesons
at the CERN LHC in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme
at next-to-leading order, an approach which takes into account the finite
mass of the heavy quarks. Numerical results are compared to data where
available. Measurements at large rapidities have the potential to pin down
models of intrinsic charm.
