24. April 15-19, 2007M. Block, Aspen Workshop Cosmic Ray Physics 2007 24 To be done: 1.Include H1 in global fit, simultaneously fitting F 2 and dF 2 /d(logQ2), d(logF 2 ) /d(log x) 2. Constrained gluon particle distribution functions (p.d.f.’s) for LHC &ILC 3. Constrained quark p.d.f’s for LHC & ILC 4. Recalculate cosmic ray neutrino cross sections using bounded p.d.f.’s; current values are much too big! Needs x~10 -8 and Q 2 ~6400 GeV 2. Enormous extrapolation !
