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.Impact of future HERA data on the determination of proton parton distribution functions using the ZEUS NLO QCD fit

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 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 future data from HERA on the proton PDF uncertainties, within the currently planned running scenario. Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for inclusive jet cross sections at the LHC centre-of-mass energy are presented using the estimated PDFs. Finally, the effect of a possible future measurement of the longitudinal structure function, FL, on the gluon distribution is investigated.HERA and the LHC - A workshop on the implications of HERA for LHC physics: Proceedings - Part A
