Abstract

A nonsinglet QCD analysis of neutrino-nucleon structure function is performed based on all the data for charged current neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS) corresponds to NLO and NNLO approximations, with taking into account the nuclear and higher twist corrections. In this analysis, we extract xuv(x,Q2)xu_v(x,Q^2) and xdv(x,Q2)xd_v(x,Q^2) valence parton distribution functions (PDFs) in a wide range of xx and Q2Q^2, and determine their parametrization with the correlated errors using the xFitter framework. Our results regarding valence-quark densities with their uncertainties are compared to the prediction extracted using other PDF sets from different groups. We determine αs(MZ2)\alpha_{s}(M_Z^2)= 0.1199 ±\pm 0.0031 and 0.1185 ±\pm 0.0023 with considering the nuclear and higher twist corrections at the NLO and NNLO, respectively, and perform a comparison with other reported results. The extracted results regarding valence-quark distributions and the value of αs(MZ2)\alpha_{s}(M_Z^2) are in good agreement with available theoretical models.
