Description
We calculated the contribution of the photon hadronic component in the charmed structure function of the leptoproduction. The contribution comes from scattering of the c quarks of the virtual photon on the quarks and gluons of the proton. Comparison of our calculations with the measurements of the charm production in $μ^+p$-scattering by EMC shows, that contribution of resolved photon can explain the excess of EMC data over the predictions of the photon-gluon fusion model at large momentum transfers. Thus, one does not need to use a non-perturbative admixture of the charmed quarks in the proton wave function (''intrinsic charm'') to describe such an excess in EMC data.
