The N${}^3$LO Scheme-invariant QCD Evolution of the Non-singlet Structure Functions \boldmath $F_2^{\mathrm{NS}}(x,Q^2)$ and $g_1^{\mathrm{NS}}(x,Q^2)$

Abstract

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 representation. The corresponding evolution is based on the experimental measurement of the non-singlet structure functions at a starting scale $Q_0^2$. In this way the evolution does only depend on the strong coupling constant ${\alpha }_s(M_Z)$ or the QCD scale ${\Lambda }_{\mathrm{QCD}}$ and the charm and bottom quark masses $m_c$ and $m_b$ and provides one of the cleanest ways to measure the strong coupling constant in future high luminosity deep-inelastic scattering experiments. The yet unknown parts of the 4-loop anomalous dimensions introduce only a marginal error in this analysis.
