•What are we planning before DIS09?- to include NC and CC e+ polarised data

•Including the new HER, MER, LER was reported on Wednesday

PDFs from the new fit compared to published

ZEUS-JETS fit – central values of the PDFs do not change much…..

Adding New NC and CCe- data to ZEUS-JETS fit → ZEUS-pol fit

(NEW)

This takes 509 data points up to 760 data points

Quadratic 2

Remember we have shown this before with preliminary e- data- this is now final

The xuv PDF uncertainties are reduced at high-x ….. as expected since NC and CC e- cross-sections are both u dominated

However some other uncertainties increase marginally- this can always happen when OFFSETing correlated errors

(NEW)

The d-flavour sector is less well known- NOTE the scale difference-

hence we look forward to CCe+ data

Electroweak parameter fits- go back to just ZEUS-polNow let MW be a free parameter of the fit, together with the PDF parameters

How does MW enter the fit?In the factor GF

Little correlation between EW and QCD sector of fit

Can also fit BOTH GF and MW remember GF SM= 1.11639×10-5

Or we can fit a more general formalism: fit g and MW in g2 / (Q2 + MW2)2

such that g2=GF2 MW

GF=1.141 ± 0.012 ± 0.022 ×10-5 MW=79.5 ± 1.3 ± 2.6

g= 0.0722 ± 0.0018 ± 0.0035 MW=79.5 ± 1.3 ± 2.6

This is the most general way to present our data

THESE results are very similar to what we already presented as preliminary to conferences

Now consider fits to electroweak NC couplings as well as PDF parameters

Let ai and vi be free as well as PDFparameters. Perform fits with 4 NC EW parameters free

But the errors are not very informative since the contours are very asymmetric- see next slide.

We look forward to NC e+

this.

au/vu ad/vd au/ad vu/vd contours: Prel Hera-II e-

Yes the final e- data do make things slightly worse than the preliminary- this is because we are sitting near a double minimum and the fit is very sensitive to it

But in compensation we are closer to the Standard Model !

And we are no worse off than H1 –see next slide

Comparison with other experiments

Summary

• We have now repeated our preliminary work of Summer 2007 using the FINAL e- CC and NC data

• If anything the FINAL data make things slightly worse for Electroweak parameter fits- we look forward to NCe+

• The d- sector of the PDFs is the least well known – we look forward to CCe+

• PS- in case no-one else is doing it…

What is going on with the HERA combination/ PDF

1. The HERA-I Data combination is FINAL.

2. We are re-fitting for PDFs to become HERAPDF1.0 not 0.1

3. This involves using RTVFN or ACOT heavy quark mass scheme NOT ZMVFN

4. And a move to QCDNUM17.02 for speed and high-x accuracy

5. H1 have some catching up to do on both points 3 and 4 BUT YES we are aiming for DIS09

YES ZEUS SVX95 is also in now

110 errors from both experiments (43 last year)

PLUS 3 proceedural errors for how the combination is done (4 last year)

The change in input data is mostly at low Q2, so here’s how it looks
