2020_12_02 FONLL A discontinuity threshold

Felix Hekhorn edited this page Dec 2, 2020 · 1 revision
  • below the charm threshold APFEL is dicontinues in FONLL-A for F2c, although the paper explicitly says: "Note that in the FONLL scheme continuity does not play a role in the matching conditions: at NLO continuity ensues accidentally from the matching conditions, but at higher orders subleading discontinuities may arise."
