Charm Production at Low Q2 With the ZEUS Detector
- Physikalisches Institut, University of Bonn (Germany)
The production of D*(2010) mesons in deep inelastic scattering at low Q2 has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 81.9 pb-1. The D* mesons have been reconstructed from their decay into D0 and {pi}s with the decay D0 {yields} K-{pi}+ and corresponding antiparticle decay. Differential D* cross sections as functions of exchanged photon virtuality, Q2, inelasticity, y, transverse momentum of the D* meson, pT(D*), and pseudorapidity of the D* meson, {eta}(D*), have been measured, using the beam-pipe calorimeter of ZEUS. The kinematic region of the measurement is 0.05 < Q2 < 0.7 GeV2, 0.02 < y < 0.85, 1.5 < pT(D*) < 9.0 GeV and |{eta}(D*)| < 1.5. The measured differential cross sections are compared with the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD.
