Parton evolution in the fixed flavor factorization scheme

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

It is argued that while the scale dependence of the parton distributions in the fixed flavor factorization scheme is governed by three active flavors, the scale dependence of the running coupling should nevertheless be better governed by a variable number of active flavors.
