Abstract

Inclusive photoproduction of D*± in ep collisions at HERA has been measured with the ZEUS detector for photon-proton centre of mass energies in the range 115 < W < 280 GeV and photon virtuality Q2 < 4 GeV2. The cross section σ → D*X integrated over the kinematic region pDz.ast; > 3 GeV and -1.5 < ηD* < 1.0 is (10.6 ± 1.7(stat.) ± 1.6 1.3 (syst.)) nb. Differential cross sections as functions of pD* , ηD* and W are given. The data are compared with two next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions. For a calculation using a massive charm scheme the predicted cross sections are smaller than the measured ones. A recent calculation using a massless charm scheme is in agreement with the data.
