BFKL gluon dynamics and resolved photon processes in D∗ and dijet associated photoproduction at HERA

In the framework of the semihard approach, we consider the production of D∗ mesons associated with two hadron jets at HERA conditions. The attention is focused on the variable xγ, which is the fraction of the photon momentum contributed to a pair of jets with largest pT. We find that our theoretical calculations describe the data quite well, thus showing that the BFKL gluon dynamics can provide a reasonable explanation for the observed regularities.
