The beauty contribution to the proton structure function F_2 was quantified at high Q^2.
Data from H1 and ZEUS experiments from 1996-2000 were analyzed.
Abstract
Recent measurements of beauty production in ep collisions at HERA are presented. The results were obtained using data from the experiments H1 and ZEUS from the years 1996 to 2000 (HERA I). An outlook is given for analysis on data from HERA II. Differential measurements using muons and jets in deep inelastic scattering and photoproduction are compared to NLO QCD predictions. The beauty contribution to the proton structure function F_2 was determined at large Q^2 (Q^2 > 150 GeV^2) and is compared with predictions.
