Combination of aNLO PDFs and implications for Higgs production cross-sections at the LHC
Thomas Cridge, Lucian A. Harland-Lang, Jamie McGowan +14
We discuss how the two existing approximate NLO (aNLO) sets of parton distributions (PDFs) from the MSHT20 and NNPDF4.0 series can be combined for LHC phenomenology, both i…

NNPDFpol2.0: a global determination of polarised PDFs and their uncertainties at next-to-next-to-leading order
Juan Cruz-Martinez, Toon Hasenack, Felix Hekhorn +6
We present NNPDFpol2.0, a new set of collinear helicity parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton based on legacy measurements of structure functions in inclusive neutral-…

An FONLL prescription with coexisting flavor number PDFs
Andrea Barontini, Alessandro Candido, Felix Hekhorn +2
We present a new prescription to account for heavy quark mass effects in the determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs) based on the FONLL scheme. Our prescription makes…
