Abstract: (Springer)
H1 and ZEUS have published single-differential cross sections for inclusive D±^{∗±}-meson production in deep-inelastic ep scattering at HERA from their respective final data sets. These cross sections are combined in the common visible phase-space region of photon virtuality Q2^{2} > 5 GeV2^{2}, electron inelasticity 0.02 < y < 0.7 and the D±^{∗±} meson’s transverse momentum pT_{T}(D^{∗}) > 1.5 GeV and pseudorapidity |η(D^{∗})| < 1.5. The combination procedure takes into account all correlations, yielding significantly reduced experimental uncertainties. Double-differential cross sections d2^{2} σ/dQ2^{2}dy are combined with earlier D±^{∗±} data, extending the kinematic range down to Q2^{2} > 1.5 GeV2^{2}. Perturbative next-to-leading-order QCD predictions are compared to the results.
