Description
The dataset collected by the LHCb collaboration during Run 1 and Run 2 has played a major role in the progress of charm physics. For Run 3 of the LHC, the LHCb detector was upgraded to operate at higher instantaneous luminosities. This talk presents the first results obtained with early Run 3 data, measuring the production asymmetries of $D^0$, $D^+$, and $D_s^+$ charm and anticharm mesons in $13.6\ \mathrm{TeV}$ proton-proton collisions. Comparisons to the Pythia8 and Herwig7 event generators are also reported. These results demonstrate the potential of the new detector to quantify charge asymmetries, which is essential for high-precision $CP$ asymmetry studies.
