Status of MRST/MSTW PDF sets
R. S. Thorne, A. D. Martin, W. J. Stirling +1
We outline the historical development of MRST/MSTW parton distribution functions (PDFs), and clarify how they should be regarded when compared to the most up-to-date 2008 MSTW sets…
Radiative QCD backgrounds to exclusive H -> bb(bar) production: radiation from the screening gluon
V. A. Khoze, M. G. Ryskin, A. D. Martin
Central exclusive Higgs boson production, pp -> p+H+p, at the LHC can provide important complementary contribution to the comprehensive study of the Higgs sector in a remarkably cl…
On minimum-bias effects at the LHC
V. A. Khoze, A. D. Martin, M. G. Ryskin
In general, minimum-bias triggers planned for experiments at the LHC miss a considerable fraction of the total number of events. We exemplify the rejection rate using the Durham mo…
Uncertainties on alpha_S in global PDF analyses and implications for predicted hadronic cross sections
A. D. Martin, W. J. Stirling, R. S. Thorne +1
We determine the uncertainty on the strong coupling alpha_S due to the experimental errors on the data fitted in global analysis of hard-scattering data, within the standard framew…
Soft processes at the LHC, II: Soft-hard factorization breaking and gap survival
M. G. Ryskin, A. D. Martin, V. A. Khoze
We calculate the probability that the rapidity gaps in diffractive processes survive both eikonal and enhanced rescattering. We present arguments that enhanced rescattering, which…
Soft processes at the LHC, I: Multi-component model
M. G. Ryskin, A. D. Martin, V. A. Khoze
We emphasize the sizeable effects of absorption on high-energy `soft' processes, and, hence, the necessity to include multi-Pomeron-Pomeron interactions in the usual multi-channel…
