Abstract
The inclusive single and double differential cross-sections for neutral
and charged current processes with four-momentum transfer
squared Q2 between 150 and
and with Bjorken xbetween 0.0032 and 0.65 are measured in e+ p collisions. The
data were taken with the H1 detector at HERA between 1994 and 1997,
and they correspond to an integrated luminosity of
.
The Q2 evolution of the parton densities of the proton is
tested, yielding no significant deviation from the prediction of
perturbative QCD. The proton structure function
F2(x,Q2) is
determined. An extraction of the u and d quark distributions
at high x is presented. At high Q2 electroweak effects of the heavy
bosons 
and W are observed and found to be consistent with
Standard Model expectation.
