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.

  1. Polarization interference in exclusive $V+$jets at all orders in $\alpha_s$

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Factorisation schemes for proton PDFs

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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%.

  3. Implementation of DIS at N$^3$LO for PDF determination

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    N³LO DIS implementation in VFNS with improved massive neutral-current coefficient approximation for PDF fits.

  4. Top-associated Higgs-boson production using perturbative fragmentation functions at next-to-leading-order

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Perturbative fragmentation functions reproduce the leading top-mass dependence of the exact NLO ttH cross section in the hybrid prescription at LHC energies.

  5. The Four Polarizations of the $W$ at High Energies

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

  6. Weak bosons as partons below 10 TeV partonic center-of-momentum

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  7. Parton distributions confront LHC Run II data: a quantitative appraisal

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Candia-v2 implements (approximate) N3LO x-space DGLAP evolution — exact four-loop non-singlet splitting functions, envelope-approximated singlet inputs, three-loop heavy-quark matching — as a public C++ package with G...

    hep-ph 2019-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  10. NNLO compatibility between pQCD theory and phenomenology in determination of the $b$-quark pole and \MSbar running masses

    hep-ph 2019-09 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.
