D* production in deep inelastic scattering at HERA
Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics 407:3-4 (1997) 402-418
Abstract:
This paper presents measurements of D*f± production in deep inelastic scattering from collisions between 27.5GeV positrons and 820GeV protons. The data have been taken with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The decay channel D*+ → (D0 → K-π+)π+ (+c.c.) has been used in the study. The e+p cross section for inclusive D*± production with 5 < Q2 < 100GeV2 and y < 0.7 is 5.3±1.0±0.8nb in the kinematic region 1.3 < pT(D*±) < 9.0GeV and |η(D*±) | < 1.5. Differential cross sections as functions of pT(D*±), η(D*±), W and Q2 are compared with next-to-leading order QCD calculations based on the photon-gluon fusion production mechanism. After an extrapolation of the cross section to the full kinematic region in pT(D*±) and η(D*±), the charm contribution Fcc̄2(x,Q2) to the proton structure function is determined for Bjorken x between 2 · 10-4 and 5 · 10-3. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.Measurement of the proton structure function F2 and σγ*ρ tot at low Q2 and very low x at HERA

Abstract:
A small electromagnetic sampling calorimeter, installed in the ZEUS experiment in 1995, significantly enhanced the acceptance for very low x and low Q2 inelastic neutral current scattering, e+p → e+X, at HERA. A measurement of the proton structure function F2 and the total virtual photon-proton (γ∗p) cross-section is presented for 0.11 ≤ Q2 ≤ 0.65 GeV2 and 2 × 10−6 ≤ x ≤ 6 × 10−5, corresponding to a range in the γ∗p c.m. energy of 100 ≤ W ≤ 230 GeV. Comparisons with various models are also presented.Study of photon dissociation in diffractive photoproduction at HERA
