Charged Current Physics
Oral Contribution
Structure functions and parton densities determined in ep collisions at HERA are reviewed. At HERA, about 0.5 fb-1 of data were recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of about 320 GeV by each of the two collider experiments H1 and ZEUS. The data samples are about equally shared between operation with e+p and e-p beams. In e+p collisions further small...

Charged Current Physics
Oral Contribution
In order to better understand the behavior of parton distribution functions in x and Q, it is necessary to be able to separate the contributions from various flavors. Such flavor differentiation can be greatly assisted by charged current deep inelastic scattering. The status of flavor differentiation will be discussed and some useful examples utilizing charged current interactions will be given.

The study of the nucleon spin structure has been approached from two complementary perspectives. From the one hand, generalized parton distributions (GPDs) give information about the distribution of quarks and gluons inside the nucleon as a function of the fraction of their longitudinal momentum with respect to the longitudinal nucleon momentum and as a function of their transverse...
