The latest results of H1 and ZEUS on the electroweak cross sections using polarised lepton beams are presented with the improvements in the parton density functions that result from them. The asymmetry of the neutral current cross sections…
Heavy quark production has been very well studied over the last years both theoretically and experimentally. Theory has been used to study heavy quark production in $e p$ collisions at HERA, in $pp$ collisions at Tevatron and at RHIC, in…
Experimental results obtained with the HERA collider and recent progress in their theoretical interpretation are reviewed. After a short introduction to HERA physics, deep inelastic scattering and photoproduction are discussed as (virtual)…
Forces beyond those of the standard model may manifest themselves at low energies as four-fermion contact interactions. If these new forces are independent of colour and flavour quantum numbers including baryon and lepton number, then all…
Parity violation in elastic electron-nucleon scattering is studied with the basic goal of improving the understanding of electroweak hadronic structure with special emphasis on the strangeness content in the nucleon. Models for the…

Deep-inelastic ep scattering data taken with the H1 detector at HERA and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 106 pb^{-1} are used to study the differential distributions of event shape variables. These include thrust, jet…
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…
