Leading log radiative corrections to polarized heavy flavour leptoproduction

Abstract

O(α) QED radiative corrections to polarized neutral current leptoproduction of heavy quark flavours are calculated in the leading log approximation for HERMES, COMPASS, and HERA kinematics. Besides the inclusive case, we derive general $z_h$-differential formulae for the polarized boson gluon fusion process and use them to calculate radiative corrections to semi-inclusive polarized heavy flavour production in the case of HERA kinematics.
