The status of beauty measurements at HERA is reviewed. A considerable improvement in the precision and kinematic coverage has been achieved in the last years. The results are in good agreement with NLO QCD.

โฆ Synopsis
The latest results of beauty quark production measurements at HERA are presented. New measurements have been obtained both in the photoproduction and the deep inelastic scattering regimes. The results were compared with the NLO QCD calculations.
1 ฮท =ln(tan ฮธ/2) is the pseudorapidity, where ฮธ is the polar angle measured with respect to the proton beam direction.
