Impact of future HERA data on the proton PDF uncertainties using the ZEUS NLO QCD fit
Journal of Physics G Nuclear and Particle Physics 32:2 (2006) 221-228
Abstract:
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 program is now underway and is expected to provide a substantial increase in the luminosity collected at HERA. In this paper, the first estimate of the impact of future data from HERA, on the proton PDF uncertainties, is presented. Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for inclusive jet cross sections at the LHC are presented using the projected PDFs. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.Precision top-quark mass measurement in the lepton+jets topology in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV

Abstract:
We report two measurements of the top-quark mass Mtop using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in a 318pb-1 data sample of tt̄ events in the lepton+jets final state. One method uses an event-based likelihood technique resulting in Mtop=173.2-2.4+2.6(stat)±3.2(syst)GeV/c2 or 173.2-4.0+4.1GeV/c2. The second method reconstructs a top-quark mass in each event using the measured invariant mass of the hadronically decaying W boson to constrain the jet energy scale to obtain a value for Mtop of 173.5-3.6+3.7(stat)±1.3(syst)GeV/c2 or 173.5-3.8+3.9GeV/c2. We take the latter, which is more precise, as our result. © 2006 The American Physical Society.Search for neutral Higgs Bosons of the minimal supersymmetric standard model decaying to τ pairs in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV
