Uncertainties of predictions from parton distributions. I: Theoretical errors
A. D. Martin, R. G. Roberts, W. J. Stirling +1
We study the uncertainties in parton distributions, determined in global fits to deep inelastic and related hard scattering data, due to so-called theoretical errors. Amongst these…
Hadronic Radiation Patterns in Vector Boson Fusion Higgs Production
V. A. Khoze, W. J. Stirling, P. H. Williams
We consider the hadronic radiation patterns for the generic process of bb + 2 forward jet production at the LHC, where the (centrally produced) bb originate either from a Higgs, a…
MRST partons and uncertainties
A. D. Martin, R. G. Roberts, W. J. Stirling +1
We discuss uncertainties in the extraction of parton distributions from global analyses of DIS and related data. We present conservative sets of partons, at both NLO and NNLO, whic…
Non-perturbative effects and the resummed Higgs transverse momentum distribution at the LHC
A. Kulesza, W. J. Stirling
We investigate the form of the non-perturbative parameterization in both the impact parameter (b) space and transverse momentum (p_T) space resummation formalisms for the transvers…
A Z-Monitor to Calibrate Higgs Production via Vector Boson Fusion with Rapidity Gaps at the LHC
P. H. Williams
We study central Z-boson production accompanied by rapidity gaps on either side as a way to gauge Higgs weak boson fusion production at the LHC. We analyse the backgrounds for the…
Energy Consumption and Jet Multiplicity from the Leading Log BFKL Evolution
J. R. Andersen, W. J. Stirling
We study the associated jet multiplicity arising from t-channel BFKL gluon evolution in forward dijet production at hadron colliders. Previous results have shown that the effect of…
