Description

In the framework of semi-hard QCD approach, we present a consistent analysis of D^* meson production at HERA energies. The consideration is based on universal unintegrated gluon densities, which have BFKL behavior in the small x region. Predictions of the CCFM evolution equation for D^* production are obtained and show a good description of D^* data at HERA.
