Description
Charm production has been measured with the ZEUS detector
in deep inelastic ep scattering at HERA.
The measurement is based on the full reconstruction of the decay chain
D*->D0pis, D0->Kpi and exploits the full HERA II statistics.
Differential cross sections have been measured.
The kinematic range is 1.5 GeV < pT(D*) < 10GeV, |eta(D*)| < 1.5,
5 < Q2 < 1000GeV2 and 0.02 < y < 0.7.
The observed cross sections is extrapolated to the full pt(D*)
and eta(D*) range in order to determine the open-charm contribution,
F2cc(x,Q2) to the proton structure function, F2.
