Abstract

We perform a NLO QCD analysis of the combined SLAC-BCDMS-NMC-E665-H1-ZEUS data on inclusive deep inelastic cross section. Particular attention was paid to the extraction of strong coupling constant αs\alpha_s and high twist (HT) contribution to the structure functions F2F_2 and FLF_L. It was shown that at small and moderate x there is a visible dependence of the extracted values of HT contribution to F2F_2 on the QCD renormalization scale, which indicates that in this region extracted HT can absorb NNLO QCD corrections. At larger x the dependence of HT on the renormalization scale is negligible and the influence of NNLO correction on their values should be less significant. The value of αs(MZ)=0.1159±0.0031\alpha_s(M_Z)=0.1159\pm0.0031 (total) is obtained, where the error includes statistical, systematical and theoretical uncertainties.
