Abstract
The measurement of charm production in charged current deep inelastic positron-proton scattering is investigated with the ZEUS detector at the HERA collider. The data used has been collected from 1995 to 2000, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of110 pb-1. Charged D* mesons decaying in the channel D*+ → D0 π+s with D0 → K- π+ and the charge-conjugated channel are reconstructed to tag charm quarks. The visible cross section for D*, σD*vis = 12.8 ± 4.0(stat) +4.7-1.5(sys) pb, is measured in the kinematic range of Q2 > 200 GeV2 and y < 0.9, and of pD*T > 1.5 GeV and |ηD*| < 1.5. The upper-limit for the charm production in the same DIS kinematic range is determined to be σe+p → νecX < 109 pb at 90% confidence level.
