Description
Lepton-proton Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) is a fundamental process for both the strong and weak sectors of the Standard Model, playing a crucial role in the measurement of the parton distribution functions of the proton, one of the main goals of the EIC program. On the theory side, however, since the starting of the LHC operations, the community has been focused on QCD corrections to hadron-hadron collisions. The calculation of many relevant matrix elements and their inclusion into general-purpose Monte Carlo frameworks for precise simulation of DIS (lepton-parton) cross sections and distributions are still of interest. We present the implementation of Deep Inelastic lepton-proton scattering at NLO in QCD, with a massive quark pair in the final state. We deliver fully differential predictions with NLO QCD accuracy in various key kinematic observables.
