Charm final states in deep inelastic scattering constitute $\sim 25%$ of the inclusive cross-section at small $x$ as measured at HERA. These data can reveal important information on the charm and gluon structure of the nucleon if they are…
In this paper, we study the fragmentation of a heavy quark into a jet near threshold, meaning that final state jet carries most of the energy of the fragmenting heavy quark. Using the heavy quark fragmentation function, we simultaneously…
In this paper, using soft-collinear effective theory we study the invariant mass distribution for dijet production in $e^+e^-$-annihilation. Near threshold, where the dijet takes most of the energy, there arise the large threshold…
