The results are presented of a study of the accuracy one may achieve at HERA in measuring the strong coupling constant αs and the gluon distribution xg(x,Q2) using future data of the structure function F2(x,Q2) which are estimated to be accurate at the few % level over the full accessible kinematic region down to x ≃ 10-5 and up to Q2 ≃ 50000 GeV2. The analysis includes simulated proton and deuteron data, and the effect of combining HERA data with fixed target data is discussed.
