Higher order corrections to heavy flavour production in deep inelastic scattering

Understand

In the asymptotic limit $Q^2 \gg m^2$, the non-power corrections to the heavy flavour Wilson coefficients in deep--inelastic scattering are given in terms of massless Wilson coeffcients and massive operator matrix elements.

• We start extending the existing NLO calculation for these operator matrix elements by calculating the O($\epsilon$) terms of the two--loop expressions and having first investigations into the three--loop diagrams needed to O($\alpha_s^3$).
