The production of heavy quarks in high-energy experiments offers a
rich field to study, both experimentally and theoretically. Due to
the additional quark mass, the description of these processes in
the framework of perturbative QCD is much more demanding than it is
for those involving only massless partons. In the last two decades,
a large amount of precision data has been collected by the deep
inelastic HERA experiment. In order to make full use of these data,
a more precise theoretical description of charm quark production in
deep inelastic scattering is needed. This work deals with the first
calculation of fixed moments of the NNLO heavy flavor corrections
to the proton structure function F2 in the limit of a small
charm-quark mass. The correct treatment of these terms will allow
not only a more precise analysis of the HERA data, but starting
from there also a more precise determination of the parton
distribution functions and the strong coupling constant, which is
an essential input for LHC physics. The complexity of this
calculation requires the application and development of technical
and mathematical methods, which are also explained here in detail.
