Running of the Charm-Quark Mass from HERA Deep-Inelastic Scattering Data

Abstract

Combined HERA data on charm production in deep-inelastic scattering have previously been used to determine the charm-quark running mass mc(mc)m_c(m_c) in the MSbar renormalisation scheme. Here, the same data are used as a function of the photon virtuality Q2Q^2 to evaluate the charm-quark running mass at different scales to one-loop order, in the context of a next-to-leading order QCD analysis. The scale dependence of the mass is found to be consistent with QCD expectations.
