Dependence of Deep Inelastic Structure Functions on Quark Masses

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-01-25 v1

Abstract

We argue that the difference between the structure functions corresponding to deep inelastic scattering with and without heavy quarks in the current fragmentation region scales at high Q2Q^2 and fixed (low) xBjx_{Bj}. The lower bound on charm contribution to the total structure function, F2c(Q2,x)F_2^c(Q^2,x), is calculated and compared with the recent data on F2c(Q2,x)F_2^c(Q^2,x) from H1 Collaboration.
