%0 Journal Article %T Recent results from HERA and their impact for LHC %A Lipka K. %J EPJ Web of Conferences %D 2012 %I %R 10.1051/epjconf/20122802008 %X Recent measurements of inclusive and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering in electron-proton collisions at HERA are reviewed. These measurements are used to determine the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton, a necessary input to theory predictions for hadron colliders. An introduction to the PDF determination with an emphasis on HERA PDFs is presented. Theory predictions based on HERAPDF are compared to a selection of recent LHC and Tevatron measurements. The impact of jet and charm production measurements on the PDFs is discussed. %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/20122802008
