Measurement of the D{sup *{+-}} meson production cross section and F{sub 2}{sup c} {sup anti} {sup c} at high Q{sup 2} in ep scattering at HERA

Abstract

The inclusive production cross section of D{sup *{+-}}(2010) mesons in deep-inelastic e{sup {+-}}p scattering is measured in the kinematic region of photon virtuality 100<Q{sup 2}<1000 GeV{sup 2} and inelasticity 0.02<y<0.7. Single and double differential cross sections for inclusive D{sup *} meson production are measured in the visible range defined by vertical stroke {eta}(D{sup *}) vertical stroke <1.5 and p{sub T}(D{sup *})>1.5 GeV. The data were collected by the H1 experiment during the period from 2004 to 2007 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 351 pb{sup -1}. The charm contribution, F{sub 2}{sup c} {sup anti} {sup c}, to the proton structure function F{sub 2} is determined. The measurements are compared with QCD predictions. (orig.)
