Abstract

Recent measurements of open charm and beauty photoproduction with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at the e±p-collider HERA are presented. These measurements reveal valuable details about the inner structure of the proton and the photon, the fragmentation of quarks into jets, and allow tests of perturbative QCD. Various experimental techniques were employed to identify and extract the heavy-quark signal. Their results are discussed, and compared to each other and to NLO QCD calculations. In addition the determination of charm fragmentation fractions is presented.
