Description
We analyze the impact of heavy flavors treatment in parton distribution
functions (PDFs) on measurable quantities like DIS structure functions.
We compare predictions obtained using ACOT scheme PDFs with different
number of active flavors and results of fix-flavor-number scheme.
We propose a correction factor that can be applied to calculations
carried in the fix-flavor-number scheme but using 5-flavor PDFs.
