D*+/- Production in e-p and e+p Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2019-08-14 v1

Abstract

Inclusive production of D*+/- (2010) mesons in deep inelastic scattering has been measured using e+p and e-p data obtained with the ZEUS detector at HERA using integrated luminosities of 16.7 and 65.2 pb-1, respectively. The decay channel D*+/- -> D0 pi+ with D0 -> K- pi+ and corresponding antiparticle decays were used to identify D*+/- mesons. The D*+/- cross sections in e-p and e+p interactions agree with NLO QCD predictions, although the D*+/- cross section in e-p is slightly higher than that in e+p.
