Abstract: (Elsevier)
The complete O( α S ) QCD corrections to the virtual-photon cross sections for heavy-flavour production in deep-elastic electron-proton scattering are presented. These results are then used to calculate the O( α S ) corrections to the heavy-flavour contributions to the structure functions F 2 ( x , Q 2 , m 2 ) and F L ( x , Q 2 , m 2 ). We examine these corrections in the x and Q 2 range appropriate for c- and b-quark production at HERA. Our results are also compared with the O( α S ) plus O( α S 2 ) corrections for massless quarks.- electron p: deep inelastic scattering
