Rescattering of the struck quark in Deep Inelastic Scattering implies that measured parton distributions are not directly related to the Fock state probabilities of the target wave function. The production amplitudes acquire dynamical…
Quark mass effects are analyzed at high $Q^2$ in the current fragmentation region of DIS. It is found that the linear combination $F_2-2.75F^c_2$ scales at large $Q^2$ and small $x$. We obtained a lower bound for the ratio $F^c_2/F_2$ which…

We study the production of heavy quarks in deep-inelastic scattering within perturbative QCD. As a novelty, we employ for the first time the running mass definition in the MSbar scheme for deep-inelastic charm and bottom production. We…
We discuss a general framework for the inclusion of heavy quark mass contributions to deep-inelastic structure functions and their perturbative matching to structure functions computed in variable-mass schemes. Our approach is based on the…
Nuclear deep inelastic scattering is considered in the framework of a model in which the current operator explicitly satisfies Poincare invariance and current conservation. The results considerably differ from the standard ones at small…
