Response to "Parton distributions need representative sampling"
The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Juan Cruz-Martinez +7
We respond to the criticism raised by Courtoy et al., in which the faithfulness of the NNPDF4.0 sampling is questioned and an under-estimate of the NNPDF4.0 PDF uncertainties is im…
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…
Regularising experimental correlations in LHC data: theory and application to a global analysis of parton distributions
Zahari Kassabov, Emanuele R. Nocera, Michael Wilson
We show how an inaccurate determination of experimental uncertainty correlations in high-precision LHC measurements may undermine the reliability of the associated . We formul…
Pion and kaon fragmentation functions at next-to-next-to-leading order
Rabah Abdul Khalek, Valerio Bertone, Alice Khoudli +1
We present a new determination of unpolarised charged pion and kaon fragmentation functions from a set of single-inclusive electron-positron annihilation and lepton-nucleon semi-in…
The PDF4LHC21 combination of global PDF fits for the LHC Run III
Richard D. Ball, Jon Butterworth, Amanda M. Cooper-Sarkar +19
A precise knowledge of the quark and gluon structure of the proton, encoded by the parton distribution functions (PDFs), is of paramount importance for the interpretation of high-e…
The Forward Physics Facility at the High-Luminosity LHC
Jonathan L. Feng, Felix Kling, Mary Hall Reno +233
High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing L…
