Description

We calculate the fourth-order corrections to the longitudinal Wilson coefficient in deep inelastic scattering (for the nonsinglet case). We use off-mass-shell states to control collinear singularities. A table of numerical results is presented for different numbers of quark flavours, and from these results we obtain the total next-to-leading order contributions to the moments of the longitudinal structure function.
