Abstract
At HERA heavy quarks may contribute up to 30% of the structure function . The potential of including heavy-quark data in the ZEUS PDF fits is explored, using double differential cross-sections as well as the inclusive quantities , . The introduction of heavy quarks requires an extension of the DGLAP formalism. The effect of using different heavy flavour number schemes, and different approaches to the running of , are compared.
