QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most…
The precision of new HERA data on jet photoproduction opens up the possibility to discriminate between different models of the photon structure. This requires equally precise theoretical predictions from perturbative QCD calculations. In…
The jet cross-section and structure-function measurements done with the ZEUS detector to extract the strong coupling constant and to test its energy-scale dependence are summarised. The values of alphas thus obtained and the HERA average…
This review describes the current status of precision QCD studies at the LHC. We introduce the main experimental and theoretical methods, discussing also their cross-stimulated developments and recent advances. The different types of QCD…
These notes are a summary of our efforts to answer the question in the title. Our answer is in the affirmative as: (i) HERA data indicate a large value of the gluon structure function; (ii) no contradictions with the asymptotic predictions…
A search for excited neutrinos, the analysis of multi-lepton final states, a search for doubly charged Higgs production and a general search for high-Pt phenomena at HERA are reported. The searches use data samples of ep collisions with a…
A study has been made of the physics interest and feasibility of experiments with nuclear beams in HERA. It is shown that such experiments widen considerably the horizon for probing QCD compared to that from free nucleon targets. In…
A brief review is given on the physics potential of HERA beyond the presently approved programme. Questions of particular interest include QCD in a regime of weak coupling and high partonic densities achieved in eA collisions and spin…
The ZEUS inclusive cross-section data from HERA-I, for charged and neutral current processes, taken with $e^+$ and $e^-$ beams, have been used in a new NLO QCD analysis to extract the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton…
The H1 and ZEUS collaborations at HERA have searched for signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model with high Q^2 neutral current deep inelastic electron-proton and positron-proton scattering events. No significant deviations from…

We work out and review prospects for future quarkonium physics at HERA. We focus on the impact of color-octet contributions and discuss how measurements at HERA can be used to test the picture of quarkonium production as developed in the…
A combination is presented of the inclusive deep inelastic cross sections measured by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations in neutral and charged current unpolarised ep scattering at HERA during the period 1994-2000. The data span six orders of…
Results from the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA on deep inelastic scattering are reviewed. The data lead to a consistent picture of a steep rise in the F_2 structure function and in the gluon density within the proton. Important new…
The study of heavy flavor production is a central topic of research at HERA and is an important testing ground for perturbative QCD. A selection of results for charm and beauty production in gamma p, using different experimental techniques…
Event shapes and jet shapes in neutral current deep inelastic scattering and photoproduction are studied with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. The measurements are compared to next-to-leading-order QCD calculations and Monte Carlo models.…
