A Survey of Heavy Quark Theory for PDF Analyses
arXiv:1201.1946 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2012.03.007
Abstract
We survey some of the recent developments in the extraction and application of heavy quark Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs). We also highlight some of the key HERA measurements which have contributed to these advances.
