Inclusive high Q cross sections and QCD and EW fits at HERA
نویسنده
چکیده
The latest measurements of the cross sections for neutral and charged current deep inelastic scattering in ep collisions at HERA with longitudinally polarised lepton beams are presented. The measured cross sections are compared with the predictions of the Standard Model. Next-to-leading-order QCD analyses of HERA data are also presented. The analyses yield the parton distribution functions of the proton and are extended to also extract electroweak parameters. The determinations from HERA are compared with those from LEP and the Tevatron.

Qcd Analyses of Hera Cross Section Data C. Gwenlan on Behalf of the H1 and Zeus Collaborations
The H1 and ZEUS Collaborations have performed new next-to-leading order QCD analyses to determine the parton density functions of the proton. QCD fits are performed using inclusive neutral and charged current deep inelastic scattering cross sections from HERA-I. The fits include a full treatment of experimental systematic uncertainies, taking into account point-to-point correlations. The extrac...
متن کاملJet Cross-Sections and αS in DIS at HERA
Measurements of inclusive-jet and dijet cross-sections in high-Q deep-inelastic scattering are presented together with a short overview of extractions of the strong coupling parameter αS from jets. The data samples used were collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA-1 and HERA-2. The measured distributions are compared to QCD calculations in next-to-leading order which describe the data very wel...

Neutral-current (NC) and charged-current (CC) deep inelastic scattering (DIS) interactions have been studied in e + p and e − p collisions with longitudinally polarised lepton beams using the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. Measurements of the polarised inclusive cross-sections are presented and compared to the Standard Model (SM) expectations. The extraction of several electroweak parameters us...
متن کاملCharm Production in Deep Inelastic Scattering
Charm quarks are produced copiously in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA. At sufficiently high photon virtualities, Q, the production of charm quarks constitutes up to 30% of the total cross section [1,2]. Previous measurements of D∗ cross sections [1,2,3,4] indicate that the production of charm quarks in DIS in the range 1 < Q < 600 GeV is consistent with QCD calculations in which charm ...
متن کاملCombined HERA Deep Inelastic Scattering Data and NLO QCD Fits
Previously published data on inclusive neutral and charged current ep and e−p deep inelastic scattering from HERA have been combined. The new, model-independent method of combining the measured cross sections takes full account of correlated systematics in a coherent way, leading to significantly reduced uncertainties in the combined measurement across the (x,Q) plane. The combined cross sectio...
