Quantitative Study of Geometrical Scaling in Charm Production at HERA

We apply the method of ratios to search for geometrical scaling in the charm production in deep inelastic scattering. To this end we use recent combined data from H1 and ZEUS experiments. Two forms of geometrical scaling are tested: originally proposed scaling which results from Golec-Biernat-Wusthoff model and scaling motivated by a dipole representation which takes into account charm mass. It turns out that in both cases some residual scaling is present and charm mass inclusion improves scaling quality.
