Description
The combined HERA data on charm production in deep inelastic scattering have recently been used to determine the charm quark running mass $m_c(m_c)$ in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ renormalisation scheme. The same data are used differentially as a function of the photon virtuality $Q^2$ to evaluate the charm quark running mass at different physical scales to one-loop order. The scale dependence of the mass is found to be consistent with QCD expectations, and a graphical represention of the charm mass running, similar to the representation of the beauty mass running from LEP data, is obtained for the first time.
