Abstract
Processes of heavy quark photoproduction at HERA energies and beyond are investigated using the semihard (k⊥ factorization) approach. Virtuality and longitudinal polarization of gluons in the photon-gluon subprocess as well as the saturation effects in the gluon distribution function at small x have been taken into account. The total cross-sections, rapidity and p⊥ distributions of the charm and beauty quark photoproduction have been calculated. The results are compared with ZEUS experimental data for charm photoproduction cross-section.Keywords
