On x-independence of RQ = FLQ/F2Q ratio at low x

Abstract
We give predictions for the ratio RQ(x,Q2)=FLQ(x,Q2)/F2Q(x,Q2) at small values of Bjorken variable x in the first three orders of perturbation theory. We show an approximate x-independence of RQ(x,Q2) at low x and non-large Q2 values (Q2 < 8--10 m2Q), irrespectively on the gluon density in a proton used in the calculations. This observation could be useful in subsequent phenomenological studies of the heavy flavor production at future lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron colliders.
