Measurement of the open-charm contribution to the diffractive proton structure function
Nuclear Physics B 672:1-2 (2003) 3-35
Abstract:
Production of D*±(2010) mesons in diffractive deep inelastic scattering has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb-1. Diffractive events were identified by the presence of a large rapidity gap in the final state. Differential cross sections have been measured in the kinematic region 1.5Jet production in charged current deep inelastic e+p scattering at HERA
European Physical Journal C 31:2 (2003) 149-164
Abstract:
The production rates and substructure of jets have been studied in charged current deep inelastic e+p scattering for Q2 > 200 GeV2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 110.5 pb-1. Inclusive jet cross sections are presented for jets with transverse energies ETjet > 14 GeV and pseudorapidities in the range -1 < ηjet < 2. Dijet cross sections are presented for events with a jet having ETjet > 14 GeV and a second jet having ETjet > 5 GeV. Measurements of the mean subjet multiplicity, 〈ηsbj〉, of the inclusive jet sample are presented. Predictions based on parton-shower Monte Carlo models and next-to-leading-order QCD calculations are compared to the measurements. The value of αs (MZ), determined from 〈ηsbj〉 at ycut = 10-2 for jets with 25 < ETjet < 119 GeV, is α s (MZ) = 0.1202 ± 0.0052 (stat.) -0.0019+0.0060 (syst.)-0.0053+0.0065 (th.). The mean subjet multiplicity as a function of Q 2 is found to be consistent with that measured in NC DIS.Measurement of deeply virtual Compton Scattering at HERA

Dijet angular distributions in photoproduction of charm at HERA
Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics 565:1-4 (2003) 87-101
Abstract:
Dijet angular distributions of photoproduction events in which a D*± meson is produced in association with one of two energetic jets have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 120 pb-1. Differential cross sections as a function of the angle between the charm-jet and the proton-beam direction in the dijet rest frame have been measured for samples enriched in direct or resolved photon events. The results are compared with predictions from leading-order parton-shower Monte Carlo models and with next-to-leading-order QCD calculations. The angular distributions show clear evidence for the existence of charm originating from the photon. © 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V.Leading proton production in e + p collisions at HERA
