This talk concentrates exclusively on
extracting an analytical solution G(x,Q2) of the
DGLAP evolution equation involving F2 for
LO or Fs for NLO

Same F2 as for DIS scheme, or LO MSbar
F20 and G are convoluted with NLO MSbar
coefficient functions Cq and Cg
We solve this NLO convolution equation for F20(x,Q2) directly by
means of Laplace transforms, so that we find F20(x,Q2) as a function
of F2p(x,Q2).

This illustrates the case for nf = 4; depending on Q2, we also use nf = 3 and 5

For LO, it’s simpler: the proton structure function
F2(x,Q2) --> G(x,Q2) directly, with NO approximations
We also need s(Q2)

Why are there large differences where there are F2 data?

Look at Proton structure functions, F2 , compared to ZEUS data:
1) CTEQ6L, constructed from LO quark distributions,
2) Our fit to ZEUS data, Q2 = 4.5, 22 and 90 GeV2
CTEQ6L
CTEQ6L disagrees with experimental ZEUS data!
![Page 23: Analytic LO Gluon Distributions from the proton structure function F 2 (x,Q 2 )---](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051623/56815a89550346895dc7fd91/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Proton structure functions, F2 , compared to ZEUS data:
1) MSTW2008, constructed from NLO quark distributions,
2) Our fit to ZEUS data , Q2 = 4.5, 22 and 90 GeV2
NLO MSTW
MSTW2008 does much better than CTEQ6L, but still not a good fit
![Page 24: Analytic LO Gluon Distributions from the proton structure function F 2 (x,Q 2 )---](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051623/56815a89550346895dc7fd91/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

2 GeV2
Dashed = our G Solid = NLO MSTW
Very different gluon values at the Z mass
Note the different shapes for G derived from F2 data compared to G from evolution---a remnant of MSTW assuming parton distribution shapes at Q0
2 = 1 GeV2. Differences grow larger as Q2 increases!

LO and NLO G(x) , from MSTW2008, for Q2 = 10, 30 and 100 GeV2
Dashed = NLO
Solid = LO
Enormous differences between gluon
distributions for small x, for next order in s ; no large changes in quark
distributions

LO and NLO G(x) , from F2 fit to ZEUS, for Q2 = 10, 30 and 100 GeV2
Again, very large differences between
gluon distributions for small x, for next order in s ; what does LO gluon
mean?

Conclusions
1. We have shown that detailed knowledge of the proton structure function F2(x,Q2) and s(Q2) determines G(x)=xg(x); for LO, it is all that is necessary. For NLO, addition of tiny terms involving NLO partons are required for high accuracy.
2. No a priori theoretical knowledge or guessing of the shape of the gluon distribution at Q0
2---where evolution starts--- is needed; experimental measurements determine the shape!
3. Our gluon distributions at small x disagree with both LO CTEQ6L and NLO MSTW2008, even in regions where there are structure function F2 data.

4. We think that the discrepancies are due to both CTEQ , MSTW assuming shape distributions at Q0
2 that are wrong; remnants of the assumed shape are retained at high Q2, through the evolution process. This effect becomes exacerbated at small x!
5. Message! Don’t trust “standard candles” at LHC.
Future
PLEA! Make publicly available combined ZEUS and H1 structure function data (with correlated errors) so that we can make more accurate gluon distributions using the combined HERA results.
Incorporate mass effects in splitting functions, to avoid discontinuities near c and b thresholds.
