3-loop heavy flavor Wilson coefficients in deep-inelastic scattering
Abstract We present our most recent results on the calculation of the heavy flavor contributions to deep-inelastic scattering at 3-loop order in the large Q 2 limit, where the heavy flavor Wilson coefficients are known to factorize into light flavor Wilson coefficients and massive operator matrix elements. We describe the different techniques employed for the calculation and show the results in the case of the heavy flavor non-singlet and pure singlet contributions to the structure function F 2 ( x , Q 2 ) .
3-Loop Heavy Flavor Corrections in Deep-Inelastic Scattering with Two Heavy Quark Lines
We consider gluonic contributions to the heavy flavor Wilson coefficients at 3-loop order in QCD with two heavy quark lines in the asymptotic region $Q^2 \gg m_{1(2)}^2$. Here we report on the complete result in the case of two equal masses $m_1 = m_2$ for the massive operator matrix element $A_{gg,Q}^{(3)}$, which contributes to the corresponding heavy flavor transition matrix element in the variable flavor number scheme. Nested finite binomial sums and iterated integrals over square-root valued alphabets emerge in the result for this quantity in $N$ and $x$-space, respectively. We also present results for the case of two unequal masses for the flavor non-singlet OMEs and on the scalar int…
The Large Hadron–Electron Collider at the HL-LHC
The Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC) is designed to move the field of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to the energy and intensity frontier of particle physics. Exploiting energy-recovery technology, it collides a novel, intense electron beam with a proton or ion beam from the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). The accelerator and interaction region are designed for concurrent electron-proton and proton-proton operations. This report represents an update to the LHeC's conceptual design report (CDR), published in 2012. It comprises new results on the parton structure of the proton and heavier nuclei, QCD dynamics, and electroweak and top-quark physics. It is shown how the LH…
Asymptotic 3-loop heavy flavor corrections to the charged current structure functions FLW+−W−(x,Q2) and F2W+−W−(x,Q2)
We derive the massive Wilson coefficients for the heavy flavor contributions to the nonsinglet charged current deep-inelastic scattering structure functions ${F}_{L}^{{W}^{+}}(x,{Q}^{2})\ensuremath{-}{F}_{L}^{{W}^{\ensuremath{-}}}(x,{Q}^{2})$ and ${F}_{2}^{{W}^{+}}(x,{Q}^{2})\ensuremath{-}{F}_{2}^{{W}^{\ensuremath{-}}}(x,{Q}^{2})$ in the asymptotic region ${Q}^{2}\ensuremath{\gg}{m}^{2}$ to 3-loop order in quantum chromodynamics at general values of the Mellin variable $N$ and the momentum fraction $x$. Besides the heavy quark pair production, also the single heavy flavor excitation $s\ensuremath{\rightarrow}c$ contributes. Numerical results are presented for the charm quark contributions, …
