Parton distributions from high-precision collider data

The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone +13

We present a new set of parton distributions, NNPDF3.1, which updates NNPDF3.0, the first global set of PDFs determined using a methodology validated by a closure test. The update…

The impact of the LHC Z-boson transverse momentum data on PDF determinations

Radja Boughezal, Alberto Guffanti, Frank Petriello +1

The LHC has recently released precise measurements of the transverse momentum distribution of the Z-boson that provide a unique constraint on the structure of the proton. Theoretic…

A Determination of the Charm Content of the Proton

The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone +7

We present an unbiased determination of the charm content of the proton, in which the charm parton distribution function (PDF) is parametrized on the same footing as the light quar…

Towards parton distributions with fitted charm

Patrick Groth Merrild, Luca Rottoli

Modern parton distribution function fits require an accurate treatment of heavy quark mass effects. In this contribution, we discuss how the FONLL general-mass variable flavour num…

Marginal evidence for cosmic acceleration from Type Ia supernovae

Jeppe Trøst Nielsen, Alberto Guffanti, Subir Sarkar

The "standard" model of cosmology is founded on the basis that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating at present --- as was inferred originally from the Hubble diagram…

A facility to Search for Hidden Particles at the CERN SPS: the SHiP physics case

Sergey Alekhin, Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Takehiko Asaka +82

This paper describes the physics case for a new fixed target facility at CERN SPS. The SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) experiment is intended to hunt for new physics in the larg…
