Structure Functions at Very High Q^2 From HERA

Abstract

Measurements of Deep-Inelastic Neutral and Charged current interactions are presented in lepton proton scattering at HERA. The measurements are obtained from taken during 1996 to 1999 and consists of $30\mathrm{p}{\mathrm{b}}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}p$ and $16\mathrm{p}{\mathrm{b}}^{-1}$ of $e^{-}p$ data. The addition of the new high statistics electron data with the positron data allows the first extraction of the parity violating structure function $x{F}_3$ and tests of high-$Q^2$ electroweak effects of the heavy bosons $Z^0$ and $W$ are observed and found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectation.
