Abstract

We present a systematic analysis of all available neutrinoxF3 data, using an analytic parametrisation which incorporates second order QCD predictions forQ2 evolution. We find
$$\Lambda _{\overline {MS} } = 0.30 \pm 0.13{\rm{ }}GeV$$
where the error is statistical, and both Fermi andW-boson propagator corrections have been made to the data. Neglect of the former has negligible effects, but neglect of the latter would increase Λ by ∼0.1 GeV. We find that higher-twist effects are small and negative, and estimate their effect on the determination of Λ. We are unable to fit the data with higher-twist terms alone.
