Description

We review the factorisation of deep inelastic processes with charm quarks, and the construction of variable-flavour-number schemes, both with and without an intrinsic charm PDF. Results are then presented of the latest NNPDF fits, both with and without intrinsic charm. The dependence of the PDFs on the charm mass is discussed.
