The ZEUS inclusive differential cross-section data from HERA, for charged and neutral current processes taken with e(+) and e(-) beams, together with differential cross-section data on inclusive jet production in e+ p scattering and dijet production in gamma p scattering, have been used in a new NLO QCD analysis to extract the parton distribution functions of the proton. The input of jet-production data constrains the gluon and allows an accurate extraction of alpha(s)( M(Z)) at NLO; alpha(s)( M(Z)) = 0.1183 +/- 0.0028( exp.) +/- 0.0008( model). An additional uncertainty from the choice of scales is estimated as +/- 0.005. This is the first extraction of as( M(Z)) from HERA data alone.

Abstract
The ZEUS inclusive differential cross-section data from HERA, for charged and neutral current processes taken with e(+) and e(-) beams, together with differential cross-section data on inclusive jet production in e+ p scattering and dijet production in gamma p scattering, have been used in a new NLO QCD analysis to extract the parton distribution functions of the proton. The input of jet-production data constrains the gluon and allows an accurate extraction of alpha(s)( M(Z)) at NLO; alpha(s)( M(Z)) = 0.1183 +/- 0.0028( exp.) +/- 0.0008( model). An additional uncertainty from the choice of scales is estimated as +/- 0.005. This is the first extraction of as( M(Z)) from HERA data alone.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
