Heavy Flavors in High Energy ep Collisions

Abstract

Most recent measurements of open charm and beauty production in high energy ep collisions at HERA are reviewed. The measurements explored the different aspects of quantum chromodynamics involved in the process of heavy flavor production. The results are compared with perturbative theoretical calculations at next-to-leading order.Comment: 6 pages including figures, to be published in the proceedings of XXXV International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics (ISMD), Kromeriz, Czech Republic, August 9-15, 200
