HERA, the first electron-proton collider, has been delivering luminosity since 1992. It is the natural extension of an impressive series of fixed-target lepton-nucleon scattering experiments. The increase of a factor ten in center-of-mass…
From 1992 to 2007, HERA, the first electron-proton collider, operated at cms energies of about 320 GeV and allowed the investigation of deep-inelastic and photoproduction processes at the highest energy scales accessed thus far. This review…
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…
Results on QCD studies from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at the ep collider HERA are presented and their impact on LHC physics discussed.
HERA, the only ep collider, operated in the years 1992-2007 at centre-of-mass energies of 300-320 GeV in Hamburg, Germany. Deep inelastic neutral and charged current scattering at HERA provides the possibility to study the structure of the…
Jet production in electron-proton collisions at HERA provides a unique testing ground for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Apart from the determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$, ep jet data may especially be used to gain…
The HERA electron--proton collider has collected 100 pb$^{-1}$ of data since its start-up in 1992, and recently moved into a high-luminosity operation mode, with upgraded detectors, aiming to increase the total integrated luminosity per…

Analyses of jet production at HERA have become precise enough to perform QCD studies which are both competitive and complementary to those at e+e- and p-pbar colliders. This report summarises some of the latest results on jet physics from…
Recent results from the HERA ep collider are discussed with emphasis on the transition from short to long distance phenomena in QCD. The results cover inclusive ep scattering, inclusive diffractive scattering, vector meson production, and…
Strong interaction physics will be ubiquitous at the Large Hadron Collider since the colliding beams consist of confined quarks and gluons. Although the main purpose of the LHC is to study the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and…
The luminosity of the electron-proton collider, HERA, will be increased by a factor of five during the long shutdown in the year 2000. At the same time longitudinal lepton beam polarisation will be provided for the collider experiments H1…
The relationship between RHIC and HERA data is explored using the idea of saturation (color glass condensate) as a unifying framework for interpretation. A description of the early stages of a heavy ion collision is given with the RHIC…
New QCD results obtained by the H1 Collaboration are summarized. These results are based on data taken in $e^{\pm}p$ collisions at HERA I (1994-2002) and HERA II (2003-2007) corresponding to an integrated luminosity of almost $\rm 0.5…
A variety of possible future analyses of HERA data in the context of the HERA data preservation programme is collected, motivated, and commented. The focus is placed on possible future analyses of the existing $ep$ collider data and their…
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…
We give a brief account of some physics topics which could be addressed at a collider consisting of the HERA proton ring and the future e+e- Linear Collider. A few experimental aspects are also discussed.
Since its commissioning in 1991, the ep collider HERA has been running successfully for almost a decade without stopping improving its performance. In this report, the inclusive cross section and structure function measurements for the deep…
Over the last two decades, the HERA collider has provided a large amount of new information about QCD dynamics at high energy. While the most appreciated are the measurements of the proton structure functions in a wide range of parton…
After more than 15 years, the operation of the world's unique electron-proton collider HERA ended in June 2007. The data collected by the H1 experiment correspond to a total integrated luminosity of about 0.5 fb$^{-1}$. In 2007 dedicated…
