Global analyses of helicity-dependent parton distribution functions
Emanuele R. Nocera
Helicity-dependent, or polarised, parton distribution functions describe the longitudinal polarisation of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons inside a polarised nucleon. They encode how…
Impact of Z-boson transverse-momentum resummation on PDF determination
Juan M. Cruz-Martinez, Emanuele R. Nocera, Luca Rottoli +1
We study the impact of small-transverse-momentum resummation for neutral-current Drell-Yan lepton-pair production on the determination of collinear parton distribution functions (P…
PineAPPLv1: fast and flexible theory predictions for present and future colliders
Tomáš Ježo, Emanuele R. Nocera, Tanjona R. Rabemananjara +3
We present PineAPPLv1, a library designed to provide accurate and flexible interpolation tables of partonic cross sections that can be convolved with parton distribution functions…
Proton-Proton to Antinucleon Cross Sections for Cosmic Ray Applications
Mariaelena Boglione, Mattia di Mauro, Fiorenza Donato +3
We present predictions of inclusive antiproton and antineutron production cross sections in proton-proton collisions relevant to primary and secondary antiproton production in cosm…
A Determination of at Accuracy from a Global PDF Analysis
The NNPDF Collaboration, Richard D. Ball, Andrea Barontini +6
We present a determination of the strong coupling from a global dataset including both fixed-target and collider data from deep-inelastic scattering and a variety of ha…
Parton distributions confront LHC Run II data: a quantitative appraisal
Amedeo Chiefa, Mark N. Costantini, Juan Cruz-Martinez +6
We present a systematic comparison of theoretical predictions and various high-precision experimental measurements, specifically of differential cross sections performed by the LHC…
