Description
Charm and beauty photoproduction has been studied in ep collisions at HERA
with the ZEUS and H1 detectors. Heavy quarks were identified using different
experimental techniques. Charm was identified via the reconstruction of D*
mesons, while beauty was tagged via its semi-leptonic decay into leptons or
using lifetime tagging techniques. Differential cross sections were measured
and compared to leading order Monte Carlo programs and next-to-leading order
QCD predictions.
