Heavy Quark Electroproduction and the Heavy Quark Contribution to the Proton Structure
Abstract
New results on charm and beauty electroproduction from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at the ep collider HERA are presented. Differential cross sections are compared to a next-to-leading order QCD calculation. The heavy quark contributions, F2cc and F2bb, to the proton structure function F2 are compared using different experimental techniques. Also, results are shown on the charm fragmentation function, thereby testing the universality of fragmentation.
