What did HERA teach us about the structure of the proton?

Understand

Starting in 2008 the H1 and ZEUS experiments have been combining their data in order to provide the most complete and accurate set of deep-inelastic data as the legacy of HERA.

• The present review presents these combinations, both published and preliminary, and explores how they have been used to give information on the structure of the proton.
• The HERAPDF parton distribution functions (PDFs) are presented and compared with other current PDFs and with data from the Tevatron and LHC colliders.
