Abstract

First results of a non--singlet QCD analysis of the structure function F2(x,Q2)F_2(x,Q^2) in 3--loop order based on the non--singlet world data are presented. Correlated errors are determined and their propagation through the evolution equations is performed analytically. The value for αs(MZ)\alpha_s(M_Z) is determined to be 0.1135+/0.0023/0.00260.1135 +/- 0.0023/0.0026 compatible with results from other QCD analyses. Low moments for uv(x)u_v(x), dv(x)d_v(x) and uv(x)dv(x)u_v(x) - d_v(x) with correlated errors are calculated which may be compared with results from lattice simulations.
