Charm production is studied in deep-inelastic electron-photon scattering using OPAL data at e+e- centre-of-mass energies from 183 to 209 GeV. Charm quarks are identified by exclusive reconstruction of D* mesons. The cross-section of D*…
We compute the charm dijet photoproduction cross section at next-to-leading order of QCD in the zero-mass variable flavour number scheme, i.e. with active charm quarks in the proton and photon. The results are compared to recent…
