Heavy Quark Production at HERA

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Recent results on heavy flavor production at HERA are presented. New measurements of charm production are available in the region of Q2< Q^2 < 1000 GeV2^2 for DD^* and in the photoproduction limit, Q20Q^2\to 0, for DsD_s. The results are compared to theoretical calculations and the charm proton structure function \f2cc(x,Q2)(x,Q^2) is extracted. A new independent measurement of the bbˉb\bar{b} cross section using a bb-lifetime tag is reported.
