Abstract The production of D*± mesons in deep inelastic ep scattering has been measured for exchanged photon virtualities 5 < Q2 < 1000 GeV2, using an integrated luminosity of 363 pb−1 with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Differential cross sections have been measured and compared to next-to-leading-order QCD calculations. The cross-sections are used to extract the charm contribution to the proton structure functions, expressed in terms of the reduced charm cross section, σcc¯red . Theoretical calculations based on fits to inclusive HERA data are compared to the results.
