Variable flavor number schemes versus fixed order perturbation theory for charm quark electroproduction
Data for D * ± (2010) meson electroproduction in the range 10 < Q 2 < 1350 GeV 2 has recently been presented by the ZEUS collaboration at HERA. We use these results together with their previously published data for 1 < Q 2 < 600 GeV 2 to test whether one can distinguish between different theoretical schemes for charm quark electroproduction. We find that up to the largest Q 2 measured, it is no...
متن کاملVariable number schemes for heavy quark electroproduction
Heavy quark production has been a major topic of investigation at hadron-hadron, electron-proton and electron-positron colliders. Here a review is given of some topics which are of interest primarily for electronproton colliders. We concentrate on this reaction because a theoretical treatment can be based on the operator product expansion, and also because data are available for deep-inelastic ...
متن کاملComparison between the various descriptions for charm electroproduction and the HERA - data
We examine the charm component F 2,c (x, Q 2 , m 2) of the proton structure function F 2 (x, Q 2) in three different schemes and compare the results with the data in the x and Q 2 region explored by the HERA experiments. Studied are (1) the three flavour number scheme (TFNS) where the production mechanisms are given by the photon-gluon fusion process and the higher order reactions with three li...
متن کاملSoft Gluon Resummation for Heavy Quark Electroproduction
We present the threshold resummation for the cross section for electroproduction of heavy quarks. We work to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, and in single-particle inclusive kinematics. We provide next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order expansions of our resummed formula, and examine numerically the quality of these finite order approximations. For the case of charm we study the...
متن کاملStatus of Charm Flavor Physics
The role of charm in testing the Standard Model description of quark mixing and CP violation through measurements of lifetimes, decay constants and semileptonic form factors is reviewed. Together with Lattice QCD, charm has the potential this decade to maximize the sensitivity of the entire flavor physics program to new physics. and pave the way for understanding physics beyond the Standard Mod...
