Deep Inelastic Structure Functions at two Loops

Abstract

We present the analytic calculation of the Mellin moments of the structure functions F_2, F_3 and F_L in perturbative QCD up to second order corrections and in leading twist approximation. We calculate the 2-loop contributions to the anomalous dimensions of the singlet and non-singlet operator matrix elements and the 2-loop coefficient functions of F_2, F_3 and F_L. We perform the inverse Mellin transformation analytically and find our results in agreement with earlier calculations in the literature by Zijlstra and van Neerven.
