The photon PDF from high-mass Drell Yan data at the LHC using xFitter

Abstract

In this contribution, we review the results of the recent paper "The photon PDF from high-mass Drell Yan data at the LHC" (arXiv:1701.08553), where a determination of the photon PDF from fits to recent ATLAS measurements of high-mass Drell-Yan dilepton production at centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV is presented.

arXiv commentThis document is a Proceeding of Science (PoS) regarding a talk I gave during the "25th International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Topics" (Birmingham, UK). It includes 7 pages, 6 figures and 1 page of bibliography
