Abstract

The state of the art of the theoretical calculations for heavy quarks photoproduction is reviewed. The full fixed order next-to-leading order massive calculation and the resummation of large log(p_T/m) terms for differential cross sections are described. The implementation of a non-perturbative fragmentation function describing the c -> D* meson transition is also discussed.
