Heavy quark production and spectroscopy at HERA

Understand

Heavy flavour production and spectroscopy are key components of the HERA physics programme.

• I will summarise a selection of the recent results obtained by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations.
• The production of excited charm mesons and J/psi will be discussed as well as measurements of b quark cross-sections in photoproduction.
• The status of searches for exotic bound states and the D*p resonance will be updated.
