Description

Deep inelastic scattering has always represented a fundamental tool for probing the internal structure of nucleons and the dynamics of quarks and gluons; hence, huge efforts are constantly made by the entire community to increase the level of accuracy in DIS-related theoretical predictions.
In this talk I discuss the impact of $c$-quark mass effects to $F_2^c$ in charge current DIS, presenting NLO accurate predictions supplemented with soft-gluon resummation at NLL’ for this observable. The analysis is performed by employing a new framework which allows to interpolate between massless and massive scheme, including $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_S)$ contributions that do not vanish in the large-$N$ limit, therefore allowing to consistently resum both mass and soft logarithms.
