Description

New measurements of the differential cross sections for neutral current deep inelastic ep collisions up to Bjorken-x values equal to one are presented. The measurements were performed using the data collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA with sqrt(s) = 318 GeV and an integrated luminosities of 142(187) pb-1 for e+p(e-p) collisions. A new method was employed to reconstruct the kinematic variables and measure the cross sections for Q2 > 575 GeV^2. The data are considerably more precise than previously published measurements in this kinematic region and provide interesting tests of the parameterizations of the behavior of the cross section up to x=1.
