Abstract

Charm production in deep inelastic scattering has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 120 pb<sup>−1</sup>. The hadronic decay channels D<sup>+</sup> → K<sub>S</sub><sup>0</sup> π<sup>+</sup>, Λ<sub>c</sub><sup>+</sup> → pK<sub>S</sub><sup>0</sup> and Λ<sub>c</sub><sup>+</sup> → Λπ<sup>+</sup>, and their charge conjugates, were reconstructed. The presence of a neutral strange hadron in the final state reduces the combinatorial background and extends the measured sensitivity into the low transverse momentum region. The kinematic range is 0 < <sub>pT</sub> (D<sup>+</sup>, Λ<sub>c</sub><sup>+</sup>) < 10 GeV, |η(D<sup>+</sup>, Λ<sub>c</sub><sup>+</sup>)| < 1.6, 1.5 < Q<sup>2</sup> < 1000 GeV<sup>2</sup> and 0.02 < y < 0.7. Inclusive and differential cross sections for the production of D<sup>+</sup> mesons are compared to next-to-leading-order QCD predictions. The fraction of c quarks hadronising into Λ<sub>c</sub><sup>+</sup> baryons is extracted.
