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…
Parton Distributions
M. Dittmar, S. Forte, A. Glazov +37
We provide an assessment of the state of the art in various issues related to experimental measurements, phenomenological methods and theoretical results relevant for the determina…
Parton distributions for the LHC
A. D. Martin, W. J. Stirling, R. S. Thorne +1
We present updated leading-order, next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order parton distribution functions ("MSTW 2008") determined from global analysis of hard-scatte…
PQCD Formulations with Heavy Quark Masses and Global Analysis
R. S. Thorne, W. K. Tung
We critically review heavy quark mass effects in DIS and their impact on global analyses. We lay out all elements of a properly defined general mass variable flavor number scheme (…
Parton Distributions and QCD at LHCb
R. S. Thorne, A. D. Martin, W. J. Stirling +1
We consider the impact that can be made on our understanding of parton distributions (PDFs) and QCD from early measurements at the LHCb experiment. The high rapidity values make th…
The Longitudinal Structure Function at HERA
R. S. Thorne
I investigate the theoretical uncertainties on the predictions for the longitudinal structure function. I compare the predictions using fixed-order perturbative QCD, higher twist c…
