Abstract

O(α) QED radiative corrections to neutral current deep inelastic production of heavy quarks are calculated in the leading log approximation and compared with the corresponding corrections assuming a massless charm parton. Besides the inclusive case, corrections to the semi-inclusive d3σ/dx dy dz and the effect of z-cuts are studied. In the latter case, the massless corrections differ from the correct massive radiative corrections to deep inelastic heavy quark production by about 40%-10% for 0.2 z 0.5.
