Abstract

The production of D <sup>±</sup>- and D <sup>0</sup>-mesons has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 133.6 pb<sup>−1</sup>. The measurements cover the kinematic range 5<Q <sup>2</sup><1000 GeV<sup>2</sup>, 0.02<y<0.7, 1.5<<sub>p</sub><sub>T</sub><sup>D</sup> <15 GeV and |η <sup>D</sup> |<1.6. Combinatorial background to the D-meson signals is reduced by using the ZEUS microvertex detector to reconstruct displaced secondary vertices. Production cross sections are compared with the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD, which is found to describe the data well. Measurements are extrapolated to the full kinematic phase space in order to obtain the open-charm contribution, F<sub>2</sub><sup>cc</sup> , to the proton structure function, F <sub>2</sub>.
