Abstract

This talk presents results of the latest combination of inclusive deep inelastic cross sections published by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at HERA for neutral and charged current e ± p scattering for zero beam polarisation, including charm and jet data.The combined cross sections were used as input to QCD analyses at leading order and next-to-leading order providing a new set of parton distribution functions (PDFs), called HERAPDF2.0Jets.This set is a variation in the HERA-PDF2.0family set of pdfs which is based on fitting DGLAP evolution equations to HERA data only.The inclusion of charm-and jet-production cross sections made a simultaneous determination of these parton distributions and the strong coupling constant possible, resulting in α s (M 2 Z ) = 0.1183 ± 0.0009(exp) ± 0.0005(model/parameterisation) ± 0.0012(hadronisation) +0.0037 -0.0030 (scale).Comparisons of cross sections predictions based on HERAPDF2.0JetsNLO to the input data are excellent.
