Measurement of Meson Cross Sections at HERA and Determination of the Gluon Density in the Proton using NLO QCD H1 Collaboration
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the H1 detector at the collider HERA, meson production cross sections have been measured in deep inelastic scattering with four-momentum transfers GeV and in photoproduction at energies around GeV and GeV. Next-to-Leading Order QCD calculations are found to describe the differential cross sections within theoretical and experimental uncertainties. Using these calculations, the NLO gluon momentum distribution in the proton, !#"$ % '& , has been extracted in the momentum fraction range

Measurement of Dijet Cross Sections in Deep-Inelastic Scattering at HERA and a Direct Determination of the Gluon Density in the Proton H1 Collaboration
Dijet cross sections in deep-inelastic scattering have been measured with the H1 detector at the positron proton collider HERA using data taken in the years 1994 – 1997 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of Lint ' 36 pb 1. A large kinematical range of squared four momentum transfers 10 < Q2 < 5000 GeV2, squared transverse jet energies 70 < E2 ?Breit < 1200 GeV2 and invariant dijet masses...
متن کاملDirect determination of the gluon density in the proton from jet cross sections in deep-inelastic scattering
A QCD analysis of jet production in deep-inelastic scattering is presented. The studies are based on recent measurements of jet cross sections in the H1 experiment at HERA which are directly sensitive to the gluon density in the proton. The inclusion of H1 data on the inclusive deep-inelastic scattering cross section enables us to perform a consistent, simultaneous determination of the quark an...

متن کاملQcd 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 کاملMEASUREMENT AND QCD-ANALYSIS OF THE PROTON STRUCTURE FUNCTION F2(x;Q2) AT HERA
New results on measurements of the proton structure function F 2 (x;Q 2) from H1 and ZEUS at HERA are presented. The data were collected in 1995 and 1996 covering the range 0:16 Q 2 90 GeV 2 and reaching values of x down to 210 ?6. Contrary to observations at values of Q 2 10 GeV 2 , the rise in F 2 with decreasing x is found to be weaker at low Q 2. Conventional NLO QCD evolution equations pro...
