Existing calculations of heavy quark production in charged-current and neutral current lepton-hadron scattering are formulated differently because of the artificial distinction of ``light and ``heavy quarks made in the traditional approach. A proper QCD formalism valid for a wide kinematic range from near threshold to energies much higher then the quark mass should treat these processes in a uniform way. We formulate a unified approach to both types of leptoproduction processes based on the conventional factorization theorem. In this paper, we present the general framework with complete kinematics appropriate for arbitrary masses, emphasizing the simplifications provided by the helicity formalism. We illustrate this approach with an explicit calculation of the leading order contribution to the quark structure functions with general masses. This provides the basis for a complete QCD analysis of charged current and neutral current leptoproduction of charm and bottom quarks to be presented in subsequent papers.

A unified QCD formulation of leptoproduction of massive quarks in charged current and neutral current processes is described. This involves adopting consistent factorization and renormalization schemes which encompass both vector-boson-gluon-fusion (
flavor creation) and vector-boson-massive-quark-scattering (flavor excitation) production mechanisms. It provides a framework which is valid from the threshold for producing the massive quark (where gluon-fusion is dominant) to the very high energy regime when the typical energy scale mu is much larger than the quark mass m_Q (where the quark-scattering should be prevalent). This approach effectively resums all large logarithms of the type (alpha_s(mu) log(mu^2/m_Q^2)^n which limit the validity of existing fixed-order calculations to the region mu ~ O(m_Q). We show that the (massive) quark-scattering contribution (after subtraction of overlaps) is important in most parts of the (x, Q) plane except near the threshold region. We demonstrate that the factorization scale dependence of the structure functions calculated in this approach is substantially less than those obtained in the fixed-order calculations, as one would expect from a more consistent formulation.
In this article, we present the charged and neutral current coherent pion production in the neutrino-nucleus interaction in the resonance region using the formalism based on the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) theorem which relates the neutr
ino-nucleus cross section to the pion-nucleus elastic cross section. The pion nucleus elastic cross section is calculated using the Glauber model approach. We calculate the integrated cross sections for neutrino-carbon, neutrino-iron and neutrino-oxygen scattering. The results of integrated cross-section calculations are compared with the measured data
By means of a Monte Carlo cascade method, to account for the rescattering of the outgoing nucleon, we study the charged and neutral current inclusive one nucleon knockout reactions off nuclei induced by neutrinos. The nucleon emission process studied
here is a clear signal for neutral--current neutrino driven reactions, and can be used in the analysis of future neutrino experiments.
We present a computation for inclusive charged-current deeply-inelastic scattering at NNLO (N$^2$LO) in QCD. Mass-dependent quark contributions are consistently included across a wide range of momentum transfers in the SACOT-$chi$ general-mass scheme
. When appropriate, we further include N$^3$LO corrections in the zero-mass scheme. We show theoretical predictions for several experiments with neutrinos over a wide range of energies and at the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider. Our prediction reduces perturbative uncertainties to $sim$1%, sufficient for the high-precision objectives of future charged-current DIS measurements.
We study neutrino-induced charged-current (CC) $pi^0$ production on carbon nuclei using events with fully imaged final-state proton-$pi^0$ systems. Novel use of final-state correlations based on transverse kinematic imbalance enable the first measure
ments of the struck nucleons Fermi motion, of the intranuclear momentum transfer (IMT) dynamics, and of the final-state hadronic momentum configuration in neutrino pion production. Event distributions are presented for i) the momenta of neutrino-struck neutrons below the Fermi surface, ii) the direction of missing transverse momentum characterizing the strength of IMT, and iii) proton-pion momentum imbalance with respect to the lepton scattering plane. The observed Fermi motion and IMT strength are compared to the previous MINERvA measurement of neutrino CC quasielastic-like production. The measured shapes and absolute rates of these distributions, as well as the cross-section asymmetries show tensions with predictions from current neutrino generator models.
