Next-to-next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the CCFR data for xF_3 and F_2 structure functions of the deep-inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering
The next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) non-singlet QCD analysis of the experimental data of the CCFR collaboration for the $xF_3$ and $F_2$ structure functions of the deep-inelastic scattering of neutrinos and antineutrinos on the nucleon by means of the Jacobi polinomial expansion method is made. The target mass corrections are also taken into account. We demonstrate that the NNLO corrections have the important: they are decreasing the difference between the values of $α_s(M_Z)$, extracted from the NLO fit of $xF_3$ data and from the NLO non-singlet fit of the combined $xF_3$ and $F_2$ CCFR data. The obtained NNLO results for $α_s(M_Z)$ are :$α_s(M_Z)=0.109 \pm 0.003(stat) \pm 0.005(syst) \pm 0.003 (theor)$ (from $xF_3$ data) and $α_s(M_Z)=0.111\pm 0.002 (stat) \pm 0.003 (syst) \pm 0.003 (theor)$ (from the combined $xF_3$ and $F_2$ data). We also estimate the values of the order $O(α_s^2)$-corrections to the Gottfried sum rule.
