Structure Function Results from ZEUS
Abstract
This contribution presents recent ZEUS results on proton structure functions at HERA. The inclusive phi(1020)-meson cross section was measured, and it was used to determine the s-quark content of the proton. The structure function F2 was extracted using initial-state radiative events. Neutral and charged current cross sections were used to extract the structure function xF3 and measure the mass of the W boson, respectively. A NLO QCD fit to ZEUS data and fixed target cross sections was employed to determine the parton density functions of the quarks and of the gluon inside the proton.
