Parton distributions: determining probabilities in a space of functions
The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone +7
We discuss the statistical properties of parton distributions within the framework of the NNPDF methodology. We present various tests of statistical consistency, in particular that…
Precision NNLO determination of alpha_s(M_Z) using an unbiased global parton set
Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone, Luigi Del Debbio +6
We determine the strong coupling alpha_s at NNLO in perturbative QCD using the global dataset input to the NNPDF2.1 NNLO parton fit: data from neutral and charged current deep-inel…
Reweighting and Unweighting of Parton Distributions and the LHC W lepton asymmetry data
NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone +8
We develop in more detail our reweighting method for incorporating new datasets in parton fits based on a Monte Carlo representation of PDFs. After revisiting the derivation of the…
Unbiased global determination of parton distributions and their uncertainties at NNLO and at LO
The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone +7
We present a determination of the parton distributions of the nucleon from a global set of hard scattering data using the NNPDF methodology at LO and NNLO in perturbative QCD, ther…
Precision determination of alpha_s using an unbiased global NLO parton set
Simone Lionetti, Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone +7
We determine the strong coupling alpha_s from a next-to-leading order analysis of processes used for the NNPDF2.1 parton determination, which includes data from neutral and charged…
On the Impact of NMC Data on NLO and NNLO Parton Distributions and Higgs Production at the Tevatron and the LHC
The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone +7
We discuss the impact of the treatment of NMC structure function data on parton distributions in the context of the NNPDF2.1 global PDF determination at NLO and NNLO. We show that…
