Existing calculations of heavy quark production in charged-current and neutral current lepton-hadron scattering are formulated differently because of the artificial distinction of ``light'' and ``heavy'' quarks made in the traditional approach. A proper QCD formalism valid for a wide kinematic range from near threshold to energies much higher then the quark mass should treat these processes in a uniform way. We formulate a unified approach to both types of leptoproduction processes based on the conventional factorization theorem. In this paper, we present the general framework with complete kinematics appropriate for arbitrary masses, emphasizing the simplifications provided by the helicity formalism. We illustrate this approach with an explicit calculation of the leading order contribution to the quark structure functions with general masses. This provides the basis for a complete QCD analysis of charged current and neutral current leptoproduction of charm and bottom quarks to be presented in subsequent papers.

Polarization interference in exclusive $V+$jets at all orders in $\alpha_s$
Polarization interference in γ*→ℓ+ℓ− vanishes after lepton integration in exclusive V+jets at all α_s orders, with softened cancellations for W/Z due to parity violation and a formula for fiducial cuts.

Factorisation schemes for proton PDFs
All common NLO factorisation schemes for proton PDFs are special cases of a single discrete family, and scheme choice can shift LHC jet predictions by up to 20-30%.

The Four Polarizations of the $W$ at High Energies
Polarization interference in intermediate W bosons is generically nonzero even on-shell, can exceed width-over-mass corrections at low energies, and is suppressed at LHC energies; a 2P scheme is proposed to reduce gau...

Weak bosons as partons below 10 TeV partonic center-of-momentum
New next-to-leading-power effective W approximation PDFs for W/Z bosons, plus kinematic consistency conditions that make the parton approximation reliable for scattering energies around 800 GeV and above.

Parton distributions confront LHC Run II data: a quantitative appraisal
A systematic NNLO data-theory comparison shows that the main PDF sets generalise to unseen LHC and HERA data about equally well once PDF, alpha_s, and missing higher order uncertainties are included.

New CTEQ global analysis of quantum chromodynamics with high-precision data from the LHC
New CT18 PDFs at NLO and NNLO from global fit to HERA plus LHC jet, Drell-Yan, top-pair and Z data, with Hessian errors, Lagrange-multiplier studies, and alternate sets for data tensions and scale choices.

NNLO compatibility between pQCD theory and phenomenology in determination of the $b$-quark pole and \MSbar running masses
A fit of the b-quark pole and running masses from HERA beauty data is claimed to match the NNLO perturbative QCD relation, but the comparison uses the wrong strong-coupling scale and overstates the agreement.
