\begin{abstract}
\noindent
$D^{*}\mu$ coincidences are studied using data taken with the H1 detector at HERA during the years 1997 to 2000, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about $90\;\mbox{pb}^{-1}$. With the aid of charge and angle correlations between the $D^{*}$ and the muon, a separation of charm and beauty production is possible. Measurements are performed of the total charm and beauty production cross sections in the kinematical region $p_{t}(D^{*})<1.5\;\mbox{GeV/c}$, $|\eta(D^{*})|<1.5$, $p_{t}(\mu)>1.0\;\mbox{GeV/c}$, $|\eta(\mu)|<1.74$ and $0.05 < y < 0.75$, where $p_{t}\>(\eta)$ denote the tranverse momentum (pseudorapidity) of the $D^{*}$ meson and the muon. Cross sections differential in several $D^{*}\mu$ quantities, such as the squared transverse momentum of the $D^{*}\mu$ pair, are compared with the prediction of a Leading Order (LO) Monte Carlo.

\caption{Estimated decomposition of the uncorrected data in the four correlation regions, depending on the charge of the $D^{*}$ and the muon and on the azimuthal angle $\Delta\Phi$ between them. The solid points are the result of a fit to the $\Delta M$ distribution in each correlation region. The solid line gives the sum of charm and beauty $D^{*}\mu$ signal events as obtained from the 2 dimensional fit. The blue hatched histogram represents the beauty contribution. The distributions still contain background from hadrons misidentified as muons and muons from the decays of light hadrons, which are corrected for separately. This background to the muon selection represents about 30\% of the charm signal and 5\% of the beauty signal.}

to the total cross section in the visible range and divided into the charm and
beauty contributions. For charm the cross section predicted by the LO is 
multiplied by a factor 1.8 and for beauty by 3.6, the results of the total 
cross sections (table 1). The cross sections are shown differentially in the 
combined transverse momentum of the $D^*, \mu$ system 
($p_{T}^{2}(D^{*}\mu)$), its rapidity in the laboratory frame
($\hat{y}(D^{*}\mu)$), its invariant mass ($M(D^{*}\mu)$) and the azimuthal
angle $\Delta \Phi$ between the $D^*$ and the $\mu$ in the laboratory frame.
The results are compared with the leading oder (LO) + parton shower (PS) 
prediction from the AROMA Monte Carlo generator.
