Abstract. We use all the available new precise data for deep inelastic and related hard scattering processes to perform NLO global parton analyses. These new data allow an improved determination of partons and, in particular, the inclusion of the recent measurements of the structure functions at HERA and of the inclusive jets at the Tevatron help to determine the gluon distribution and $\alpha_S$ better than ever before. We find a somewhat smaller gluon at low x than previous determinations and that $\alpha_S (M_Z^2) = 0.119 \pm 0.002 (\rm expt.) \pm 0.003 (\rm theory)$.

- New generation of parton distributions with uncertainties from global QCD analysis (2002, methodology): “The “wiggle” of the gluon function observed in the latter two fits (which led MRST to reject the MRST2001J fit [13]) is clearly due to the particular functional form.”
