We present the proceedings of the lectures given at the 2008 Helmholtz International Summer School Heavy Quark Physics at the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics in Dubna. In two lectures we present recent results from the existing…
New QCD results obtained by the H1 Collaboration are summarized. These results are based on data taken in $e^{\pm}p$ collisions at HERA I (1994-2002) and HERA II (2003-2007) corresponding to an integrated luminosity of almost $\rm 0.5…
Photoproduction of beauty and charm quarks in events with at least two jets has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 133 $pb^{-1}$. The fractions of jets containing b and c quarks were extracted…
In this talk I would like to discuss two aspects of charm physics. One is to show that many standard model predictions for rare decay modes (along with $D^0 -\bar{D}^0$ mixing and CP violation) are extremely small thus opening a window for…
Highlights from the ZEUS experiment at HERA as of the DIS06 conference in April are shown. New results focus on measurements from the HERA II running period of inclusive DIS at high momentum transfer using polarised leptons and on their…
