Theory pipeline for PDF fitting
Andrea Barontini, Alessandro Candido, Juan Cruz-Martinez +3
Fitting PDFs requires the integration of a broad range of datasets, both from data and theory side, into a unique framework. While for data the integration mainly consists in the s…
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…
Evidence for intrinsic charm quarks in the proton
Richard D. Ball, Alessandro Candido, Juan Cruz-Martinez +6
The theory of the strong force, quantum chromodynamics, describes the proton in terms of quarks and gluons. The proton is a state of two up quarks and one down quark bound by gluon…
Snowmass 2021 whitepaper: Proton structure at the precision frontier
S. Amoroso, A. Apyan, N. Armesto +54
An overwhelming number of theoretical predictions for hadron colliders require parton distribution functions (PDFs), which are an important ingredient of theory infrastructure for…
EKO: Evolution Kernel Operators
Alessandro Candido, Felix Hekhorn, Giacomo Magni
We present a new QCD evolution library for unpolarized parton distribution functions: EKO. The program solves DGLAP equations up to next-to-next-to-leading order. The unique featur…
