Abstract

The production of D^∗± mesons in deep inelastic ep scattering has been measured for exchanged photon virtualities 5 < Q²<1000GeV², using an integrated luminosity of 363 pb⁻¹ with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Differential cross sectionshave been measured and compared to next-to-leading-order QC D calculations. The cross-sections are used to extract the charm contribution to the protonstructure functions, expressed in terms of the reduced charm cro ss section, σ^c̄c_red. Theoretical calculations based on fits to inclusive HERA data are compared to the results.
