Illustration of the performance of the CMS tracker and reconstruction on early Run 3 data, on the example of D* meson reconstruction

In this note some of the first distributions from CMS Run 3, showing a signal for charm production in Minimum Bias data taken at the injection center-of-mass energy of 900 GeV, are shown as an illustration of the readiness of CMS for data taking in Run 3, with particular focus on the tracker, tracking, and vertexing performance at low transverse momenta.
