A combination is presented of the inclusive deep inelastic cross sections measured by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations in neutral and charged current unpolarised ep scattering at HERA during the period 1994-2000. The data 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 systematic uncertainties into account, resulting in an improved accuracy. The combined data are the sole input in a NLO QCD analysis which determines a new set of parton distributions HERAPDF1.0 with small experimental uncertainties. This set includes an estimate of the model and parametrisation uncertainties of the fit result.

Measurements of the cross sections for charged current deep inelastic scattering in e-p collisions with longitudinally polarised electron beams are presented. The measurements are based on a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 175 pb-1 collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV. The total cross section is given for positively and negatively polarised electron beams. The differential cross-sections dsigma/dQ2, dsigma/dx and dsigma/dy are presented for Q2>200 GeV2. The double-differential cross-section d2sigma/dxdQ2 is presented in the kinematic range 280<Q2<30000 GeV2 and 0.015<x<0.65. The measured cross sections are compared with the predictions of the Standard Model.

Jet cross sections were measured in charged current deep inelastic e+-p scattering at high boson virtualities Q^2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA II using an integrated luminosity of 0.36 fb^-1. Differential cross sections are presented for inclusive-jet production as functions of Q^2, Bjorken x and the jet transverse energy and pseudorapidity. The dijet invariant mass cross section is also presented. Observation of three- and four-jet events in charged-current e+-p processes is reported for the first time. The predictions of next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD calculations are compared to the measurements. The measured inclusive-jet cross sections are well described in shape and normalization by the NLO predictions. The data have the potential to constrain the u and d valence quark distributions in the proton if included as input to global fits.

The cross sections for charged and neutral current deep inelastic scattering in e^+p collisions with a longitudinally polarised positron beam have been measured using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The results, based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 23.8 pb^-1 at sqrt(s) = 318 GeV, are given for both e^+p charged current and neutral current deep inelastic scattering for both positive and negative values of the longitudinal polarisation of the positron beam. Single differential cross sections are presented for the kinematic region Q^2 > 200 GeV^2 . The measured cross sections are compared to the predictions of the Standard Model. A fit to the data yields sigma^CC (P_e = -1) = 7.4 +/- 3.9 (stat.) +/- 1.2 (syst.) pb, which is consistent within two standard deviations with the absence of right-handed charged currents in the Standard Model.

After completion of the data taking for the νμ→ντ oscillation search, the CHORUS lead–scintillator calorimeter was used in the 1998 run as an active target. High-statistics samples of charged-current interactions were collected in the CERN SPS west area neutrino beam. This beam contained predominantly muon (anti-)neutrinos from sign-selected pions and kaons. We measure the flux and energy spectrum of the incident neutrinos and compare them with beam simulations. The neutrino–nucleon and anti-neutrino–nucleon differential cross-sections are measured in the range 0.01<x<0.7 , 0.05<y<0.95 , 10<Eν<200 GeV . We extract the neutrino–nucleon structure functions F2(x,Q2) , xF3(x,Q2) , and R(x,Q2) and compare these with results from other experiments.

A measurement of Λ c + production in neutrino nucleon charged-current interactions is presented. In a subsample of about 50 000 interactions located in the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector, exposed to the wide band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS, candidates for decays of short-lived particles were identified using new automatic scanning systems and later confirmed through visual inspection. Criteria based on the flight length allowed a statistical separation among the different charm species thus enabling a sample particularly rich in Λ c + to be defined. At an average neutrino energy of 27 GeV, the product σ (Λ c + )/ σ (CC)× BR (Λ c + →3 p ) was measured to be (0.37±0.10(stat)±0.02(syst))×10 −2 , while the values of (1.54±0.35(stat)±0.18(syst))×10 −2 and of 0.24±0.07(stat)±0.04(syst) were obtained for σ (Λ c + )/ σ (CC) and BR (Λ c + →3 p ), respectively.

The results of total cross section measurements for theνμ,\(\bar \nu _\mu\) interactions with isoscalar target in the 3 – 30 GeV energy range have been presented. The data were obtained with the IHEP-JINR Neutrino Detector in the “natural” neutrino beams of the U-70 accelerator. Neutrino fluxes were obtained by averaging the spectra, based on the calculations with the use of the experimental data on secondary particle yields from the target and muon fluxes measurements in 9 gaps of the muon filter, as well as the spectra determined from quasi-elastic events and spectra defined by extrapolating differential distributiondσ/dy in the regiony=0. The significant deviation from the linear dependence forσtot versus neutrino energy is determined in the energy range less than 15 GeV.

We present the final results from the search for μe pairs produced in neutrino interactions using the freon filled bubble chamber SKAT. The rate of μ−e+ pairs to charged current events above the charm threshold is\(R_{\mu ^ -e^ +}= (4.8 \pm 1.1)10^{ - 3} \). Assuming charm particle production to be the origin of the positron we calculate\(R_{\Lambda _c^ +}= (6.2 \pm 3.1)10^{ - 2} \) andRD=(2.8±0.9)10−2. We observe no considerable μ−e− pair production above the background. In the regionEv>3 GeV,pμ,e>1.0 GeV/c andpμ>pe we find with a 90% confidence level the limit\(R_{\mu ^ -e^ -}< 1.7 10^{ - 4} \).

The ratios of neutral-current to charged-current cross sections of v and v interactions, seperately, on proton and neutron targets have been measured. The Big European Bubble Chamber (BEBC), filled with deuterium and equipped with an external muon identifier (EMI) and an internal picket fence (IPF), was exposed to the CERN SPS (anti)neutrino wide-band beam. The measured ratios are R v p= = 0.405 ± 0.024 ± 0.021 , R v n = 0.243 ± 0.013 ± 0.016, R v p = 0.301 ± 0.027 ± 0.024 and R v n = 0.490 ± 0.050 ± 0.037 . (The first error is statistical and the second systematic). From combinations of these ratios the following neutral-current chiral coupling constants have been determined: u L 2 = 0.099 ± 0.018 ± 0.008, d L 2 = 0.202 ± 0.020 ± 0.019, u R 2 = 0.020 ± 0.016 ± 0.009 and d R 2 = 0.002 ± 0.017 ± 0.010. These results agree with the predictions of the SU(2) × U(1) standard electroweak model. Assuming ϱ = 1, the corresponding value of sin 2 θ w is found to be 0.247 ± 0.029, whereas a two-parameter fit to the data yields sin 2 θ w = 0.243 ± 0.046 and ϱ = 0.996 ± 0.041.
