Abstract

In deep inelastic lepton nucleon scattering (DIS) the study of charm production is relevant for the understanding of the parton densities in the nucleon [1, 2]. In lowest order QCD the main processes in deep electron proton scattering are the quark parton model (QPM) process, the QCD-Compton (QCDC) process and the boson gluon fusion (BGF) process, which are represented in fig. 1.
