We formulate lattice fermions in a way that encompasses Wilson fermions as well as the static and non-relativistic approximations. In particular, we treat $m_qa$ systematically ($m_q$ is the fermion mass) showing how to understand the…
We define a general scheme for the evolution of fragmentation functions which resums soft gluon logarithms in a manner consistent with fixed order evolution. We present an explicit example of our approach in which double logarithms are…

We discuss the problem of lattice artefacts in QCD simulations enhanced by the introduction of dynamical charmed quarks. In particular, we advocate the use of a massive renormalization scheme with a close to realistic charm mass. To…
We provide compact formulas for the heavy quarks structure functions $F^{q\bar{q}}_{2}(x, Q^{2})$ and $F^{q\bar{q}}_{L}(x, Q^{2})$, with $q = c, b$ and $t$, in $e^{-}p$ interaction with respect to the behavior of the gluon density at the…
We present preliminary results from a lattice calculation of tetraquark states in the charm and bottom sector of the type $ud\bar{b}\bar{b}$, $us\bar{b}\bar{b}$, $ud\bar{c}\bar{c}$ and $sc\bar{b}\bar{b}$. These calculations are performed on…
We present a detailed investigation on the intrinsic charm content in a light meson within the 't Hooft model, namely, the two-dimensional QCD in large $N_c$ limit. The intrinsic charm parton distribution function (PDF) of a light meson,…
This talk summarizes the study of the dynamics of the heavy-light \bar Qq open charm and beauty mesons obtained in [1] using QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) and motivated by the recent experimental discovery of the D{sJ}(2317) and D{sJ}(2457)…
We report on the result for the charm quark mass as obtained from our lattice QCD computation in the quenched approximation. Our result in the MSbar scheme is m_c(m_c)=1.26(4)(12) GeV.
We present preliminary results for the charm quark mass in the $N_f=4$ RGI scheme. These were obtained using $N_f=2+1$ CLS ensembles with $\mathcal{O}(a)$ non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions. We employed five different lattice…
A review is given of the QCD corrections to charm quark production in deep inelastic electron-proton scattering. An outline of the computation of the virtual photon-parton subprocesses, from which one obtains the heavy quark coefficient…
The 4q effective Lagrangian and the gap equation are derived for light quarks in the confinement phase of QCD. The modification of the confining string due to finite quark density (chemical quark potential \mu) is observed. As a surprising…
We present the scheme-invariant unpolarized and polarized flavor non-singlet evolution equation to N$^3$LO for the structure functions $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and $g_1(x,Q^2)$ including the charm- and bottom quark effects in the asymptotic…
Asymmetries in the hadroproduction of charm particles directly probe power corrections to the QCD factorization theorems. In this paper, the heavy-quark recombination mechanism, a power correction that explains charm meson asymmetries, is…
Recent results on heavy flavor production at HERA are presented. New measurements of charm production are available in the region of $ Q^2 <$ 1000 GeV$^2$ for $D^*$ and in the photoproduction limit, $Q^2\to 0$, for $D_s$. The results are…
We compute the scattering lengths of charmed mesons and charmonia scattering with light hadrons in full QCD. We use Fermilab formulation for the charm quark and domain-wall fermions for the light quarks and staggered sea quarks. Four…
We discuss different resummations of large logarithms that arise in hard-scattering cross sections of quarks and gluons in regions of large and small x. The large-x logarithms are typically dominant near threshold for the production of a…
We compute the $\alpha_s^2 n_f$ perturbative QCD contribution to semileptonic B decay, including the finite mass of the charm quark. This result provides an estimate of the size of the two-loop correction, which is found to be about 50\% of…
We present RBC/UKQCD's charm project using $N_f=2+1$ flavour ensembles with inverse lattice spacings in the range $1.73-2.77\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and two physical pion mass ensembles. Domain wall fermions are used for the light as well as the…
We compute the decoupling constant $\zeta_m$ relating light quark masses of effective $n_l$-flavour QCD to $(n_l+1)$-flavour QCD to four-loop order. Immediate applications are the evaluation of the $\overline{\rm MS}$ charm quark mass with…
