Including pre-thermal production, the total enhancement of open charm production over the initial gluon fusion depends sensitively on the initial parton density and the effective temperature. The dependence of the pre-thermal charm production on the space-momentum correlation in the initial parton phase-space distribution is also discussed.23 pages REVTEX, 7 uuencoded postscript figures includedHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNuclear Theorytext
