In this QCD analysis, we investigate the impact of recent measurements of
heavy-flavor charm and beauty cross sections data sets on the simultaneous
determination of Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) and the strong coupling,
αs(MZ2). We perform three different fits based on Variable-Flavour
Number Scheme (VFNS) at the Leading Order (LO) and Next-to-Leading Order (NLO)
and choose the full HERA run I and II combined data as a new measurement of
inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) cross sections for our base data set.
We show that including charm and beauty cross sections data reduces the
uncertainty of gluon distribution and improves the fit quality up to 4.1\% from
leading order to next-to-leading order and up to 1.7\% for only NLO without and
with beauty and charm data contributions.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
