Parton distribution and correlation functions describe the relation between a hadron and the quarks and gluons (or collectively, the partons) within it, and carry rich information on hadron's partonic structure that cannot be calculated by…
H1 has measured the diffractive DIS cross section $ep \rightarrow eXY$ using data from both of the HERA data-taking periods. Using new measurements of the diffractive cross section at different centre-of-mass energies, the diffractive…
Reliable knowledge of parton distributions at large x is crucial for many searches for new physics signals in the next generation of collider experiments. Although these are generally well determined in the small and medium x range, it has…
