Deep Inelastic Positron-Proton Scattering in the High-Momentum-Transfer Regime of HERA

The book delves into the advancements in particle physics stemming from deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering, particularly through experiments at the HERA collider in DESY. It highlights the innovative research conducted with the ZEUS and H1 detectors, which have gathered extensive data on high-energy e+p interactions. The study focuses on the unique kinematic domain where electroweak unification is observed, allowing for simultaneous analysis of neutral and charged current processes. This exploration enhances understanding of the interplay between electroweak and strong forces in particle interactions.
