Abstract
A new QCD analysis of deep inelastic
scattering (DIS) data is presented.
All available neutrino and antineutrino cross sections
are reanalyzed and included in the fit, along with
charged-lepton DIS and Drell-Yan data.
A massive factorization scheme is used to describe
the charm component of the structure functions.
Next-to-leading-order parton distribution functions
are provided.
In particular, the strange-sea density is determined
with a higher accuracy with respect to other global fits.
