High Q^2 Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA
Abstract
High Q^2 NC and CC cross-sections as measured at HERA can give information on two distinct areas of current interest. Firstly, supposing that all the electroweak parameters are well known, these cross-sections may be used to give information on parton distributions at high x and high Q^2. Secondly, supposing that parton distributions are well known, after evolution in Q^2 from the kinematic regime where they are already measured, these cross-sections can be used to give information on electroweak parameters in a process where the exchanged boson is `spacelike' rather than `timelike'. WG1 addressed itself to clarifying the limits of our present and possible future knowledge on both these areas.
