We study charm production in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) using the xFitter framework. Recent results from the LHC have focused renewed attention on the determination of the strange-quark parton distribution function (PDF) and the DIS charm process provides important complementary constraints on this quantity. We examine the current PDF uncertainty, and use LHeC pseudodata to estimate the potential improvement from this proposed facility. As xFitter implements both fixed-flavor- and variable-flavor-number schemes, we can compare the impact of these different theoretical choices; this highlights some interesting aspects of multi-scale calculations. We find that the high-statistics LHeC data covering a wide kinematic range could substantially reduce the strange PDF uncertainty.

Recent QCD results from the xFitter project: Probing the strange content of the proton with charm production in charged current at LHeC
Projected LHeC charged-current charm data, generated as pseudodata, could reduce the strange PDF uncertainty, and this reduction is claimed to be nearly independent of the heavy-flavor scheme.
