Description
Charm production in charged current deep inelastic scattering has been measured for the first time in $e^\pm p$ collisions, using data collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 358 pb$^{−1}$ . Results are presented separately for $e^+ p$ and $e^− p$ scattering at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 318$ GeV within a kinematic phase-space region of 200 GeV$^2$ < Q$^2$ < 60000 GeV$^2$ and y < 0.9, where Q$^2$ is the squared four-momentum transfer and y is the inelasticity. The measured cross sections of electroweak charm production are consistent with expectations from the Standard Model within the large statistical uncertainties.
