Abstract
The cross section and the proton structure function \(F_2\) for neutral current deep inelastic \(e^+p\) scattering have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 30 pb\(^{-1}\). The data were collected in 1996 and 1997 at a centre-of-mass energy of 300 GeV. They cover the kinematic range \(2.7 < Q^2 < 30000\) GeV\(^2\) and \(6\cdot 10^{-5} < x < 0.65\). The variation of \(F_2\) with x and \(Q^2\) is well described by next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD as implemented in the DGLAP evolution equations.

New generation of parton distributions with uncertainties from global QCD analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a new generation of parton distribution functions with increased precision and quantitative estimates of uncertainties is presented, using a recently developed eigenvector-basis approach to the hessian method, which provides the means to quickly estimate the uncertainties of a wide range of physical processes at these high-energy hadron colliders, based on current knowledge of the parton distributions.

Parton distributions for the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an updated leading-order, next-to-leading order and next-next-ordering order parton distribution function (MSTW 2008) determined from global analysis of hard-scattering data within the standard framework of leading-twist fixed-order collinear factorisation in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$¯¯$¯¯¯¯¯
