Measurements of Proton Structure Functions, Α S and Parton Distrubution Functions at Hera
نویسنده
چکیده
The measurement and QCD analysis of neutral and charged current cross sections at HERA are presented. For the kinematic range of four-momentum transfer Q 2 between ≈ 1 GeV 2 and 30000 GeV 2 and Bjorken x between 0.0013 and 0.65 the data are compared to NLO QCD predictions. In dedicated NLO QCD analyses the extraction of the parton distribution functions of the proton is performed. Results for the measurement of the strong coupling constant αs are presented.

متن کاملThe Structure of the Proton as Measured at HERA
Abstract. Recent measurements that help constrain the structure of the proton from the HERA ep collider experiments H1 and ZEUS are described. Measurements of the proton structure functions F2(x,Q), xF3(x,Q) and FL(x,Q) along with the e+p and e−p charged current cross sections are presented. The precision of the data is further improved by combining the measurements from the two experiments. Th...
متن کاملDetermination of the proton parton density functions at HERA
Recent experimental progress on the determination of the parton distribution functions in the proton from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at HERA is reported. New QCD fits yielding improved determinations of the parton distribution functions in the proton are described. On one hand, precise measurements of neutral-current deep inelastic scattering at low Q2 have allowed an improved determination...
متن کاملImpact of future HERA data on the determination of proton parton distribution functions using the ZEUS NLO QCD fit
The high precision and large kinematic coverage of the data from the HERA-I running period (1994-2000) have already allowed precise extractions of proton parton distribution functions. The HERA-II running program is now underway and is expected to provide a substantial increase in the luminosity collected at HERA. In this paper, a study is presented which investigates the potential impact of fu...
متن کاملStructure functions at large x
Structure function data together with other measurements from fixed-target deep inelastic scattering and hadron-hadron collider experiments which contribute to our knowledge of the parton density functions are reviewed. The inclusive cross-section measurements of neutral and charged current interactions at HERA are presented and their impact on the parton density functions is discussed. Future ...
