Abstract

The inclusive production of D^*±(2010) mesons in deep-inelastic scattering is studied with the H1 detector at HERA. In the kinematic region 1 < Q² < 100 GeV² and 0.05 < y < 0.7 an e⁺ p cross section for inclusive D^*± meson production of 8.50 ± 0.42(stat.)^+1.21 _-1.00 (syst.) nb is measured in the visible range _PtD* > 1.5 GeV and η_D*< 1.5. Single and double differential inclusive D^*± meson cross sections are compared to perturbative QCD calculations in two different evolution schemes. The charm contribution to the proton structure, F^C ₂(X, Q²), is determined by extrapolating the visible charm cross section to the full phase space. This contribution is found to rise from about 10% at Q² = 1.5 GeV² to more than 25% at Q² = 60 GeV² corresponding to x values ranging from 5 × 10^-5 to 3 × 10^-3.
