Invariant mass distributions for heavy quark-antiquark pairs in deep inelastic electroproduction

Abstract

We have completed the $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s)$ QCD corrections to exclusive heavy quark-antiquark distributions in deep inelastic electroproduction and present here the differential distributions in the masses of charm-anticharm and bottom-antibottom pairs at the electron-proton collider HERA.
