Uncertainties on partons I: experimental errors Uncertainties due to errors on experimental data fitted obtained using both the Hessian and Lagrange multiplier approaches. Examples: resulting errors on predictions for W, Higgs prod., and CC DIS 2. Uncertainties on partons II: theoretical errors Uncertainties due to NLONNLO, ln(1/x) and ln(1-x) effects, absorptive corrections, higher twist, choice of input parametrization, isospin violation…. Martin, Stirling + Roberts, Thorne MRST Parton distributions 3. Physical gluons and high ET jets Physical large x parametrization of gluon --driven by valence quarks in MSbar scheme --gives excellent description of Tevatron jets Martin, Stirling + Roberts, Thorne MRST Parton distributions 4. Parton distributions incorporating QED contributions Includes aQED contributions: treats photon as a parton. Automatically includes isospin violationexplains 50% of NuTeV anomaly Fewer high x up than dn, since more photons emitted from u. Proton PDFs Neutron PDFs Martin, Stirling + Roberts, Thorne MRST Parton distributions 5. The role of FL(x,Q2) in parton analyses Motivated by the forthcoming measurements of FL at HERA -- NNLO analysis gives better description at low x -- some evidence of higher twist contributions 6. MRST partons generated in a fixed flavour scheme Needed for existing Monte Carlos and other calculations in FFNS.

Future studies Complete NNLO analysis including all recent data in VFNS, and providing quantitative errors on partons With Misha Ryskin and Graeme Watt (UCL) : 1. Determination of diffractive parton densities applying our novel pQCD approach to the new diffractive data. 2.
