Description

We present the possibility of intrinsic (non-perturbative) charm in parton distribution functions (PDF) of the proton, within the context of the CT14 next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) global analysis. Different models of intrinsic charm are analysed and compared. The correlations between the value of the charm-quark mass and the allowed amount of intrinsic charm is also discussed.
