Cross sections at midrapidity for c$\overline{\textrm{c}}$ (left) and b$\overline{\textrm{b}}$ (right) as a function of $\sqrt{s}$ in \pp~collisions. The colored markers represent the measured midrapidity cross sections at \s = 5.02, 7, and 13 TeV which are derived using either PYTHIA 6 (blue circles) or POWHEG (red squares) simulations. The systematic and statistical uncertainty of the data points are summed in quadrature and represented by vertical bars. The measurements are compared with FONLL calculations (black solid line), with model uncertainties (dashed lines), and to single heavy-flavor hadron measurements (open markers) The charm cross sections and corresponding uncertainties were updated in the recent submission. For details see Appendix~\ref{app:update}. In addition to updating the \ccbar cross sections, recent measurements based on fully-reconstructed charm hadrons~ were included in the figure as well as calculations at next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) calculations (magenta)~.
