Abstract

Formulas directly connecting parton distribution functions (PDFs) at the leading (LO) and next to leading (NLO) QCD orders are applied with respect to both unpolarized and polarized valence PDFs. It is shown that the connection formulas allow without any restriction on the allowed Q2 range for the analyzed data to produce improved LO results on valence PDFs, which strongly differ from the standard parametrizations on these quantities, and which could be obtained within the standard approach only by using the data produced at very high Q2 values (that is hardly possible in reality).
