Charge asymmetry in the photonic production of charmed mesons

Charge asymmetries for the charm meson production ($D^{*+}$--$D^{*-}$, $D^{*0}$--$\bar D^{*0}$ and $D^+_s$--$\bar D^-_s$) have been estimated for the COMPASS kinematic conditions in the framework of perturbative recombination model. Mass corrections have been taken into account in the calculations. The large asymmetry for $D^+_s$--$\bar D^-_s$ production has been predicted.
