S. Munier et R. Peschanski, HIGH-ENERGY FACTORIZATION PREDICTIONS FOR THE CHARM STRUCTURE-FUNCTION F-2(C) AT HERA, Nuclear physics. B, 524(1-2), 1998, pp. 377-393
High-energy factorization predictions for F-2(c) are derived using BFK
L descriptions of the proton structure function F-2 at HERA. The model
parameters are fixed by a fit of F-2 at small x. Two different approa
ches of the non-perturbative proton input are shown to correspond to t
he factorization at the gluon or quark level, respectively. The predic
tions for F-2(c) are in agreement with the data within the present err
or bars. However, the photon wave-function formulation (factorization
at quark level) predicts significantly higher F-2(c) than both gluon f
actorization and a next-leading order DGLAP model. (C) 1998 Elsevier S
