HERA Combined Cross Sections and Parton Densities
نویسنده
چکیده
Deep inelastic scattering cross section measurements previously published by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations are combined. The procedure takes into account the systematic error correlations in a coherent way, leading to a significantly reduced overall cross section uncertainty. The combined H1 and ZEUS measurements of the inclusive neutral and charged current cross sections are used to perform a common NLO QCD fit. The consistent treatment of systematic uncertainties in the joint data set ensures that the resulting set of parton density functions (PDFs) have a much reduced experimental uncertainty compared to the previous PDF extractions performed separately by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations.

A QCD analysis of HERA and fixed target structure function data
The parton momentum densities in the proton are determined from a NLO QCD analysis of structure functions measured by HERA and fixed target experiments. Also included are data on the difference of the up and down anti-quark densities. The uncertainties in the parton densities, structure functions and related cross sections are estimated from the experimental errors, taking into account all corr...
متن کامل2 Neutral and Charged Current Dis at Large Q
Data from the HERA collider experiments, H1 and ZEUS, have been fundamental to the rapid recent development of our understanding of the partonic composition of the proton and of QCD. This report focuses on inclusive measurements of neutral and charged current cross sections at HERA, using the full available data taken to date. The present precision on the proton parton densities and the further...

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 کاملStudies of Real and Virtual Photon Structure at HERA
For the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations Recent results of real and virtual photon structure from the H1 and ZEUS collaborations are discussed. Jet cross-sections in photoproduction processes provide new constraints on the real photon parton densities. Measurements of dijet cross-sections in deep-inelastic scattering show clear evidence for a resolved component to the virtual photon which is suppress...
متن کاملThe DIS cross - sections ratio R = σ L / σ T at small x from HERA data
The DIS cross-sections ratio R = σ L /σ T at small x from HERA data. Abstract We extract the deep inelastic scattering cross-sections ratio R = σ L /σ T in the range 10 −4 ≤ x ≤ 10 −1 from F 2 HERA data using very simple relations based on perturbative QCD. The result depends on only one parameter δ, being x −δ the behavior of the parton densities at low x, which has been determined recently wi...
