Progress in the NNPDF global analysis

Abstract

We report on recent progress in the NNPDF framework of global PDF analysis. The NNPDF2.3 set is the first and only available PDF set with includes LHC data. A recent benchmark comparison of NNPDF2.3 and all other modern NNLO PDF sets with LHC data was performed. We have also studied theoretical uncertainties due to heavy quark renormalization schemes, higher twists and deuterium corrections in PDFs. Finally, we report on the release of positive definite PDF sets, based on the NNPDF2.3 analysis, specially suited for use in Monte Carlo event generators.
