The kinematic region covered by the LHC experiments probes low values of Bjorken-$x$. At the scale relevant for $W$ and $Z$ production the central rapidity region covers $10^{-3} < x < 10^{-1}$. This means that it is the HERA data which…
A review is presented of numerous recent results, particularly those submitted to the EPS-HEP99 conference: very high Q^2 ep interactions and direct tests of the Standard Model, new measurements of the structure of the proton (including…
Starting in 2008 the H1 and ZEUS experiments have been combining their data in order to provide the most complete and accurate set of deep-inelastic data as the legacy of HERA. The present review presents these combinations, both published…
The hard scatter from initial state hadrons to final state partons at LHC is reviewed with 2010 integrated luminosity. Plots showing certain quantities are shown as well as the powerful software tools for describing expectations.
The high precision and large kinematic coverage of the data from the HERA-I running period (1994-2000) have already allowed precise extractions of proton parton distribution functions. The HERA-II running program is now underway and is…
Theoretical interpretations of the high-Q^2 events recently observed in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA are reviewed. We discuss leptoquarks, squarks with R-parity violating couplings, and contact interactions. Bounds from…
