Description
Precision measurements at HERA enable accurate proton structure determination from a QCD fit analysis, which is relevant to the LHC kinematic range. However, recent studies indicate that measurements at the LHC (i.e. processes for the Higgs and Beyond Standard Model physics) are still limited by the knowledge of the proton structure. Therefore various studies are needed to understand this uncertainty. Many of those have been performed within the HERA QCD framework to address this issue based on innovative methods and very precise and clean ep scattering data. The predictions based on the HERA data are also compared to ppbar processes at Tevatron, and used for predictions of the pp processes at the LHC. Moreover, time has come when these predictions are confronted with the recent LHC measurements.
