HERA is taking data since 1992; after a shutdown in 2000, data taking has restarted in 2002 with a five-fold increase in the luminosity. The first running period is referred to as HERA-I, whereas the second one is referred to as HERA-II. In…
Data taken with positrons of different longitudinal polarisation states in collision with unpolarised protons at HERA are used to measure the total cross sections of the charged current process, e^+ p \to \bar{\nu}X, for negative…
