At low Q^2, charm production in deep-inelastic scattering is adequately described by assuming generation in electroweak boson-light parton scattering (dominantly boson-gluon fusion) which naturally incorporates the correct threshold behaviour. At high Q^2 this description is inadequate, since it does not sum logs in Q^2/m_c^2, and is replaced by the treatment of the charm quark as a light parton. We show how the problem of going from one description to the other can be solved in a satisfactory manner to all orders. The key ingredient is the constraint of matching the evolution of the physical structure function F_2 order by order in alpha_s(Q^2) in addition to the matching of the value of F_2 itself. This leads to new expressions for the coefficient functions associated with the charm parton which are unique in incorporating both the correct threshold and asymptotic behaviours at each order in perturbation theory. The use of these improved coefficients lead to an improvement in global fits and an excellent description of the observed F_2,charm.

    hep-ex 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A NNLO QCD fit to CMS inclusive jet cross sections at 2.76, 7, 8 and 13 TeV plus HERA DIS yields alphaS(mZ) = 0.1176 (+0.0014, -0.0016) and confirms the predicted running of the strong coupling up to 1.6 TeV.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new NLO and NNLO global QCD fit to HERA, Drell-Yan, and W/Z data yields proton PDFs, a strange-sea ratio near 1.07, and projections that EIC data would reduce gluon and alpha_s uncertainties.

    A fit of the b-quark pole and running masses from HERA beauty data is claimed to match the NNLO perturbative QCD relation, but the comparison uses the wrong strong-coupling scale and overstates the agreement.

    A next-to-leading order fit to HERA diffractive DIS data that includes a fitted 1/Q^2 higher-twist term improves chi2/dof from 1.052 to 1.013 and changes the extracted gluon density, though the effect is not shown to ...
