Charm Production in ep-Collisions
Recent results on the production of open charm in electron proton scattering at HERA are reviewed. Results on the fragmentation of charm are presented and compared to the measurements at e+e- colliders. Recent results on the charm contribution to the proton structure function F2 are shown. Furthermore, measurements of inclusive D* meson, D*+jet and D*+muon production are presented. These results are compared with perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading order as well as with Monte Carlo predictions.
