                    Production of P-Wave Charm Mesons at HERA

                                    Abstract


    The production of excited charm mesons has been observed with the 
    ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of approximately
    100 pb-1. Neutral orbitally excited P-wave charm mesons have
    been reconstructed in the D*+- pi-+ final state.
    The fraction of D*+- mesons originating from the decays of these
    mesons has been calculated. A search for radially excited charm
    mesons in the D*+- pi+ pi- final state has been also performed.
    The results are compared with those obtained in e+e- annihilation
    and with QCD expectations.
