D*± Production in e-p and e+p Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA

  • 1. Bristol University, Bristol (United Kingdom)

Description

Inclusive production of D*±(2010) mesons in deep inelastic scattering has been measured using e+p and e-p data obtained with the ZEUS detector at HERA using integrated luminosities of 16.7 and 65.2pb-1, respectively . The decay channel D*+ → D0π+ with D0 → K-π+ and corresponding antiparticle decays were used to identify D*± mesons. The D*± cross sections in e-p and e+p interactions agree with NLO QCD predictions, although the D*± cross section in e-p is slightly higher than that in e+p. (author)
