The production of D* and D mesons in inelastic scattering of 160 GeV/c muonsoff a ^6LiD target has been investigated with the COMPASS spectrometer at CERNfor 0.003 (GeV/c)^2 < Q^2 < 10 (GeV/c)^2 and 3x10^-5< x_Bj < 0.1. The study isbased on 8100 events where a D^0 or anti D^0 is detected subsequently to a D*+or D*- decay, and on 34000 events, where only a D^0 or anti D^0 is detected.Kinematic distributions of D*, D and K*_2 are given as a function of theirenergy E, transverse momentum p_T, energy fraction z, and of the virtual photonvariables nu, Q^2 and x_Bj. Semi-inclusive differential D* productioncross-sections are compared with theoretical predictions for D* production viaphoton-gluon fusion into open charm. The total observed productioncross-section for D*+/- mesons with laboratory energies between 22 and 86 GeVis 1.9 nb. Significant cross-section asymmetries are observed between D*+ andD*- production for nu<40 GeV and z>0.6.
