Heavy Quarks in Polarized Structure Functions

F. M. Steffens

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Quark mass effects are included in the calculation of polarized structure functions. In particular, the validity of fixed order perturbation theory and of massless evolution is studied in the framework of heavy quarks structure functions. The polarized version of the ACOT and MRRS interpolating schemes for the evolution of massive quarks distributions is also developed and studied. The different behaviours of the various approaches in x and Q 2 are shown. 1
