Oral presentation
The reduced cross sections for $e^{+}p$ deep inelastic scattering have been
measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA at three different centre-of-mass energies, $318$, $251$ and $225$ GeV. The cross sections, measured double
differentially in Bjorken $x$ and the virtuality, $Q^2$, were obtained
in the region $0.13\ \leq\ y\ \leq\ 0.75$ and $5\ \leq\ Q^2\ \leq\ 110$ GeV$^2$, where $y$...

Inclusive ep double differential cross sections for neutral current
deep inelastic scattering are measured with the H1 detector at
HERA. The data were taken with a lepton beam energy of 27.6 GeV and
two proton beam energies of Ep = 460 and 575 GeV corresponding to
centre-of-mass energies of 225 and 252 GeV, respectively. The
measurements cover the region of 6.5x10^-4 โคx โค0.65 for...

The neutral current $e^\pm p$ cross section has been measured up to values of Bjorken $x\cong 1$ with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 187 ${\rm pb}^{-1}$ of $e^-p$ and 142 ${\rm pb}^{-1}$ of $e^+p$ collisions at $\surd s = 318$ GeV. Differential cross sections in $x$ and $Q^2$, the exchanged boson virtuality, are presented for $Q^2 \geq 725$ GeV$^2$. An improved...

A combination is presented of all inclusive deep inelastic cross sections measured by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations in neutral and charged current unpolarised $e^{\pm}p$ scattering at HERA. The data were taken between 1994 and 2007. They span six orders of magnitude in negative four-momentum-transfer
squared, $Q^2$, and in Bjorken $x$. The combination method used takes the correlations of...

New combined H1 and ZEUS data on neutral and charged current inclusive cross sections at HERA from all running periods 1994-2007, are used as the sole input to NLO and NNLO QCD analyses to determine new sets of parton distributions, HERAPDF2.0, with small experimental uncertainties and an estimate of model and parametrisation uncertainties. Charm and jet production data are also included in...

An update on activities of the CTEQ-TEA global analysis project will be given. This includes discussion of the latest NNLO CT10 parton
distribution functions and their implications for predictions at the LHC. We also present a study of QED effects, including photon PDFs,
in the CT10 analysis, and show how the ZEUS DIS plus observed photon data can constraint the initial photon PDF.

We consider impact of the recent data obtained by the LHC, Tevatron, and fixed-target experiments on the quark distributions in the nucleon with a particular focus on disentangling of different quark species. Improved determination of the poorly known strange sea distribution is obtained and the standard candle benchmarks for the Drell-Yan process at the LHC are updated.

The proton parton distribution functions (PDFs) are essential for
precision physics at the LHC and other hadron colliders. Their current level of accuracy dominates the theory uncertainties in Higgs production and it

The combined measurements of protonโs structure functions in deeply inelastic scattering at the HERA collider provide high-precision data capable of constraining parton density functions over a wide range of the kinematic variables.

We investigate the spin flip Generalized Parton Distribution $E(x,0,t)$ in impact parameter space using the explicit light front wave functions (LFWFs) for the two-particle Fock state of the electron in QED. The Fourier transform (FT) of the GPDs by taking the longitudinal momentum transfer as zero ($\zeta=0$) gives the distribution of quarks in the transverse plane. We study the relationship...

We suggest a novel way of matching the non-perturbative part of TMD with the perturbative part aimed to increase the amount of perturbative
information in the TMD PDF expression. For that we perform the OPE for the TMD PDF operator in the Laguerre polynomial basis. The choice of
basis is dictated by the phenomenological observation that TMDs in the region of middle-$b_T$ has Gaussian...

Various measurements provided by the ATLAS collaboration have significant impact on
parton density functions. The production of W and Z bosons inclusively or in association with charm-quark have are found to constraint the strange-quark density at medium and low Bjorken-x.

Several key processes at the LHC in the standard model and beyond that involve bottom quarks, such as single-top, Higgs, and weak vector boson associated production, can be described in QCD either in a 4-flavor or 5-flavor scheme. In the former, b quarks appear only in the final state and are typically considered massive. In 5-flavor schemes, calculations include b quarks in the initial state,...

Precision higher order calculations in perturbative QCD for hadron-hadron collisions often require large computing power and are time consuming, in particular in next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy and for non-inclusive or differential quantities. However, such computations are used frequently in modern phenomenological analyses like determinations of the strong coupling constant,...

We discuss a variable flavor number scheme for final state jets which can account for the effects of arbitrary finite quark masses for inclusive jet observables.

We discuss the Hessian PDF reweighting - a technique intended to estimate the effects that new measurements have on a set of PDFs. The method stems straightforwardly from considering new data in a usual $\chi^2$ fit and it naturally incorporates also non-zero values for the tolerance, $\Delta \chi^2 > 1$. In comparison to the contemporary Bayesian reweighting techniques, there is no need to...

The first p+Pb run at the LHC has opened a possibility to investigate the validity of the collinear factorization in a clearly higher energy scale than earlier in the nuclear collisions. Indeed, some processes that have been measured routinely in p+p($\overline {\rm p}$) collisions and utilized for years in free proton PDF fits, can now finally be reached also in the nuclear case. Such new...

A global analysis of the proton PDF requires a combination of DIS, DY,
and jet data. The flavor differentiation depends heavily on the DIS
data, all of which is measured on nuclear targets in neutrino

play. Additionally, the LHC heavy ion runs with lead beams provide
information in an entirely new kinematic regime; here, the...
