Journal ArticleDOI
On the Consistent Use of Scale Variations in PDF Fits and Predictions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the theoretical uncertainties in parton distribution functions due to missing higher-order corrections in the perturbative predictions used in the fit, and their relationship to the uncertainties in subsequent predictions made using the PDFs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of Monte Carlo approach to experimental uncertainty propagation with MSTW 2008 PDFs
G. Watt,Robert S. Thorne +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the Monte Carlo approach to propagation of experimental uncertainties within the context of the established "MSTW 2008" global analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling.
Journal ArticleDOI
MMHT PDFs: Updates and Outlook
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of NNLO corrections on the fit quality of individual jet rapidity bins was investigated, and it was shown that a mild decrease in fit quality is produced when all bins are fitted.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of the $\alpha_S$ and heavy quark mass dependence in the MSHT20 global PDF analysis.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the MSHT20 global PDF sets, demonstrating the effects of varying the strong coupling and the masses of the charm and bottom quarks on the PDFs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charm and beauty quark masses in the MMHT2014 global PDF analysis
TL;DR: The comparison to the HERA data on charm and beauty structure functions is examined and it is noted that in each case the heavy-quark data, and the inclusive data, have a slight preference for lower masses than the default values.
