High twists and the NNLO QCD corrections in DIS

Abstract

We discuss interplay between the high-twist (HT) terms in the operator-product expansion and the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the deep-inelastic-scattering structure functions in analysis of the high-precision data for charged leptons. Under account of the NNLO corrections the observed HT terms change within their experimental errors only and do not vanish in the NNLO.
