Heavy Quark Production

D. H. Saxon

The quality of the data on charm and beauty production is improving fast, with new techniques reported at HERA and the TeVatron. Charm fragmentation at HERA looks the same as at LEP. There is evidence for charm content in the photon and fair agreement between theory and data in DIS. Beauty production at LEP agrees with astounding precision with theory, but at TeVatron and HERA there are 70% discrepancies between theory and results. Future accelerator running with the upgraded detectors will lead to a great improvement in understanding.
