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…
Closure Testing the MSHT PDFs and a First Direct Comparison to the Neural Net Approach
L. A. Harland-Lang, R. S. Thorne, T. Cridge
We present a brief overview of the first global closure test of the fixed parameterisation (MSHT) approach to PDF fitting. We find that the default MSHT20 parameterisation can repr…
MSHT Updates 2024
R. S. Thorne, T. Cridge, L. Harland-Lang
We present various recent updates related to the MSHT20 PDF sets, and particularly to the MSHT20 approximate NLO (aNLO) PDFs. These include an investigation of including ei…
A Stress Test of Global PDF Fits: Closure Testing the MSHT PDFs and a First Direct Comparison to the Neural Net Approach
L. A. Harland-Lang, T. Cridge, R. S. Thorne
We present a first global closure test of the fixed parameterisation (MSHT) approach to PDF fitting. We find that the default MSHT20 parameterisation can reproduce the features of…
A Benchmarking of QCD Evolution at Approximate
A. Cooper-Sarkar, T. Cridge, F. Giuli +6
We present a detailed benchmarking of different treatments of the QCD evolution of unpolarized PDFs at approximate () order in the QCD coupling. Namely, the impleme…
Les Houches 2023: Physics at TeV Colliders: Standard Model Working Group Report
J. Andersen, B. Assi, K. Asteriadis +81
This report presents a short summary of the activities of the "Standard Model" working group for the "Physics at TeV Colliders" workshop (Les Houches, France, 12-30 June, 2023).
A first determination of the strong coupling at approximate NLO order in a global PDF fit
T. Cridge, L. A. Harland-Lang, R. S. Thorne
We present the first determination of the value of the strong coupling via a simultaneous global fit of the proton parton distribution functions (PDFs) at approximate NLO (aN…
