Heavy Quarks in DIS (Theory)
Abstract
Description
I review the various methods for taking account of finite quark masses in DIS and related processes. I pay particular attention to the so-called variable flavour number schemes (VFNS) which are designed to extrapolate smoothly from the region near threshold of production of heavy quark pairs to the region where the quarks become effectively massless.
