A Determination of at Accuracy from a Global PDF Analysis

The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Andrea Barontini +6

We present a determination of the strong coupling from a global dataset including both fixed-target and collider data from deep-inelastic scattering and a variety of had…

Combination of aNLO PDFs and implications for Higgs production cross-sections at the LHC

Thomas Cridge, Lucian A. Harland-Lang, Jamie McGowan +14

We discuss how the two existing approximate NLO (aNLO) sets of parton distributions (PDFs) from the MSHT20 and NNPDF4.0 series can be combined for LHC phenomenology, both i…

Determination of the theory uncertainties from missing higher orders on NNLO parton distributions with percent accuracy

The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Andrea Barontini +16

We include uncertainties due to missing higher order corrections to QCD computations (MHOU) used in the determination of parton distributions (PDFs) in the recent NNPDF4.0 set of P…

Photons in the proton: implications for the LHC

The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Andrea Barontini +16

We construct a set of parton distribution functions (PDFs), based on the recent NNPDF4.0 PDF set, that also include a photon PDF. The photon PDF is constructed using the LuxQED for…

The intrinsic charm quark valence distribution of the proton

Richard D. Ball, Alessandro Candido, Juan Cruz-Martinez +7

We provide a first quantitative indication that the wave function of the proton contains unequal distributions of charm quarks and antiquarks, i.e. a nonvanishing intrinsic valence…

Parton Distributions and New Physics Searches: the Drell-Yan Forward-Backward Asymmetry as a Case Study

Richard D. Ball, Alessandro Candido, Stefano Forte +4

We discuss the sensitivity of theoretical predictions of observables used in searches for new physics to parton distributions (PDFs) at large momentum fraction . Specifically, w…
