Introduction: proton PDFs @ HERA
Proton parton distribution functions (PDFs):• proton structure• predictions at hadron colliders → SM tests and Search Beyond SM
HERA main source of information on PDFs:• precise data over large kinematic region → low-x rise of F2 (sea, gluon)
Zeus and H1 DGLAP analyses of HERA-I(and fixed target) data:
→ H1 2000 PDFs → ZEUS-S PDFs Rise of F2 at low-x
(established with ~20 nb-1)Precise F2 determination( 1996-97 data samples)
HERA PDFs
pQCD describe F2 over 4 (3) order of mag. in Q2 (x) HERA PDFs: fair agreement
ZEUS: PRD67(2005)012007H1: EPJC30(2003)1
ZEUS-JETS PDFs
First fit using HERA incl and jets data- HERA-I inclusive cross sects- Inclusive jet cross sects in NC DIS- Dijet cross sects in photo-production
Data from one Experiment only:• Syst unc. well understood• No fixed target unc.• Valence quarks from high-Q2 NC
and CC cross sections
Jet data help in constraining
the gluon and αs:
• Reduction of gluon unc. by
~ factor 2 for 0.01 < x < 0.4
• Precise determination of αs

Zeus-Pol PDFs
Since 2002 HERA has been runningwith long. polarized e± beam (P~30-40% )

New measurements
PDFs poorly known at large x:→New measurement of incl. cross sections at high-x
Jets have strong impact on the DGLAP analyses→New measurements of jet cross sections:• Jets in DIS (NC and CC)• Dijet in γ-p
High-x incl. cross sections
• Motivation: Poor knowledge of high-x PDFs (HERA x~0.65, BCDMS~ 0.75)• New technique which allows the meas. of incl. cross sections up to Bjorken x=1

Electron-Jet Method:Use elec. and jet E and θ to reconst. Q2,x 1. Always use Ee and θe for Q2 2. For each Q2 bin define x-bins a) Jet far from beam pipe (low-x) → x from Ejet , θjet
b) Jet near the beam-pipe (high-x) → collect events in [xedge,1]

High-x cross sections
Theory (with current PDF sets) underestimates the measurements at the highest values of x.
NC DIS: inclusive and dijet cross sections
Inclusive jets• Q2 > 125 GeV2
• EjetT,B > 8 GeV
• -2 < ηjetB < 1.5
Di-jet• Q2 > 125 GeV2
• Ejet1T,B > 12 GeV, Ejet2
T,B > 12 GeV• -2 < ηjet
B < 1.5
- Jets identified in the Breit frame using the kT cluster algorithm- 80 pb-1 of e±p data (1998-2000)
At LO:
Jet production in NC DIS:- testing ground of pQCD- constrains xg and αs
Precise measurement…(e.g. jet energy scale ~1% → Δσ ~ 5%)

CC cross sections
- Jets identified in the LAB frame using the kT cluster algorithm- 125 pb-1 of polarized e-
L,R-p data (2004-2005)
Phase Space:• Q2 > 200 GeV2 and y < 0.9• Ejet

Jet production in polarized CC DIS:- testing ground of pQCD and EW sector of the SM- sensitive to valence quarks
Larger data sample w.r.t. 20 pb-1 of e-p data at HERAI

CC cross sections
- Cross sections compared to LL parton-shower MC models - Sensitive to different quark flavours
Photoproduction of Dijet at high-ET H1: EPJC41(2005)273

Photoproduction of Dijet at High-ET
• Shape dominated by jet phase space• Large scale uncertainty
• Cut on dijet inv. mass • Reduced theoretical unc.
Photoproduction of Dijet at High-ET
•Good description by NLO pQCD calculations•Largest xp values reachable for forward-forward sample•Sensitivity to PDFs at large xp → data available for PDF Fits
Summary
•Mature DGLAP Analyses at HERA allow precise determination of PDFs
•A new set of incl. and jet observables has been presented which will help to determine PDFs with even higher precision
