Combined QCD and electroweak analysis of HERA data

2016
A simultaneous fit of parton distribution functions (PDFs) and electroweak parameters to HERAdata on deep inelastic scatteringis presented. The input data are the neutral currentand charged currentinclusive cross sections which were previously used in the QCD analysis leading to the HERAPDF2.0 PDFs. In addition, the polarisation of the electron beam was taken into account for the ZEUS data recorded between 2004 and 2007. Results on the vector and axial-vector couplings of the Z boson to u- and d-type quarks, on the value of the electroweak mixing angle and the mass of the W boson are presented. The values obtained for the electroweak parameters are in agreement with Standard Model predictions.
