A Variable Flavour Number Scheme at NNLO

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

I present a formulation of a Variable Flavour Number Scheme for heavy quarks that is implemented up to NNLO in the strong coupling constant and may be used in NNLO global fits for parton distributions.
