The quark and gluon structure of the proton

Abstract: In this paper we present a review of the structure of the proton and the current status of our knowledge of the parton distribution functions (PDFs). The lepton-nucleon scattering experiments which provide the main constraints in PDF extractions are introduced and their measurements are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to the HERA data which cover a wide kinematic region. Hadron-hadron scattering measurements which provide supplementary information are also discussed. The methods used by various groups … Show more

“…On the one hand it aims to provide an accessible introduction to the theory and phenomenology of parton distributions. In this respect the current review is more concise and pedagogical than other recent reviews [48][49][50] of the same or related topics. On the other hand, it aims to review the current state of the art in PDF determination, to provide an assessment of their accuracy and of the main sources of systematic and theoretical uncertainty on them, and to discuss the impact they have on LHC phenomenology.…”

“…Deep inelastic scattering (DIS) data provide high precision tests of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and have led to a detailed and comprehensive understanding of proton structure, see [1] for a recent review. A measurement of the longitudinal proton structure function, F L , provides a unique test of parton dynamics and the consistency of QCD by allowing a comparison of the gluon density obtained largely from the scaling violations of F 2 to an observable directly sensitive to the gluon density.…”
