Abstract

We present the results of our QCD analysis for non-singlet unpolarized quark distributions and structure function F2(x,Q2)F_2(x,Q^2) up to N3^3LO. In this regards 4-loop anomalous dimension can be obtain from the Pad\'e approximations. The analysis is based on the Jacobi polynomials expansion of the structure function. New parameterizations are derived for the non-singlet quark distributions for the kinematic wide range of xx and Q2Q^2. Our calculations for non-singlet unpolarized quark distribution functions up to N3^3LO are in good agreement with available theoretical models. The higher twist contributions of F2p,d(x,Q2)F_2^{p,d}(x,Q^2) are extracted in the large xx region in N3^3LO analysis. The values of ΛQCD\Lambda_{QCD} and αs(Mz2)\alpha_s(M_z^2) are determined.
