A First Account of the Impact of Ion Electromagnetic Dissociation on Event Exclusivity in Ultraperipheral LHC Collisions
M. Dyndal, L. A. Harland-Lang
In this Letter we explore the modelling of hadron production in electromagnetic ion dissociation (EMD) processes in high-energy ultraperipheral collisions at LHC energies. Since EM…
Assessing the Impact of Fitting Methodology at aNLO with FPPDF: an Open Source Tool for Extracting Parton Distribution Functions in the Hessian Approach
J. M. Cruz-Martinez, T. Giani, L. A. Harland-Lang
We present a new public code, FPPDF, to perform global fits of parton distribution functions (PDFs). The fitting methodology follows that implemented by the MSHT collaboration, nam…
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…
Higher precision constraints on the tau in LHC photon-initiated production: a full account of hadron dissociation and soft survival effects
L. A. Harland-Lang
We present the first calculation of photon-initiated pair production in the presence of non-zero anomalous magnetic () and/or electric dipole () moments of the $Ï…
