Abstract

Recent results on heavy flavor production at HERA are presented. New measurements of charm production are available in the region of Q² < 1000 GeV² for D^* and in the photoproduction limit, Q²→ 0, for D_s. The results are compared to theoretical calculations and the charm proton structure function \f2cc(x,Q²) is extracted. A new independent measurement of the bb cross section using a b-lifetime tag is reported.
