Abstract
We calculate the perturbative parts of the structure functions
F2c and
FLc for a gluon target having non-zero
transverse
momentum squared at order
.
The results of the double convolution (with respect to the Bjorken
variable
xB and the
transverse momentum) of the perturbative part and the unintegrated
gluon densities are compared with the HERA experimental data for
F2c.
The contribution from the
FLc structure function
ranges in
10-
of that of
F2c at the kinematical range of the HERA experiments.
