Forward-jet production in deep inelastic ep scattering at HERA
Forward jet cross sections have been measured in neutral current deep inelastic scattering at low Bjorken-x with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 81.8 pb-1. Measurements are presented for inclusive forward jets as well as for forward jets accompanied by a dijet system. The explored phase space, with jet pseudorapidity up to 4.3 is expected to be particularly sensitive to the dynamics of QCD parton evolution at low x. The measurements are compared to fixed-order QCD calculations and to leading-order parton-shower Monte Carlo models.

Photoproduction of events with rapidity gaps between jets at HERA
The photoproduction of dijet events, where the two jets with the highest transverse energy are separated by a large gap in pseudorapidity, have been studied with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 39 pb-1. Rapidity-gap events are defined in terms of the energy flow between the jets, such that the total summed transverse energy in this region is less than some value ETCUT. The data show a clear excess over the predictions of standard photoproduction models. This is interpreted as evidence for a strongly interacting exchange of a color-singlet object. Monte Carlo models which include such a color-singlet exchange are able to describe the data.

Measurement of charm and beauty production in deep inelastic ep scattering from decays into muons at HERA
AbstractThe production of charm and beauty quarks in ep interactions has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA for squared four-momentum exchange Q2>20 GeV2, using an integrated luminosity of 126 pb−1. Charm and beauty quarks were identified through their decays into muons. Differential cross sections were measured for muon transverse momenta 
$p_{T}^{\mu}>1.5\ \mbox{GeV}$ 
and pseudorapidities −1.6<ημ<2.3, as a function of 
$p_{T}^{\mu}$
, ημ, Q2 and Bjorken x. The charm and beauty contributions to the proton structure function F2 were also extracted. The results agree with previous measurements based on independent techniques and are well described by QCD predictions.
