Title: Charm and bottom photoproduction at HERA with MC@NLO

Journal Article · · Physics Letters, (Section) B

We apply the MC@NLO formalism to the production of heavy-quark pairs in pointlike photon-hadron collisions. By combining this result with its analogue relevant to hadron-hadron collisions, we obtain NLO predictions matched to parton showers for the photoproduction of Q{bar Q} pairs. We compare MC{at}NLO results to the measurements of c- and b-flavored hadron observables performed by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at HERA.
