TLDR
In this article, the MRST2004 partons were used to generate fixed three and four-light-flavour sets of partons using MRST 2004 partons as input, and it was shown that it is important to set n f = 3 in the strong coupling, as well as in the splitting and coefficient functions, in order to obtain a consistent set of fixedflavour partons.

Parton distributions for the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an updated leading-order, next-to-leading order and next-next-ordering order parton distribution function (MSTW 2008) determined from global analysis of hard-scattering data within the standard framework of leading-twist fixed-order collinear factorisation in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$¯¯$¯¯¯¯¯

Impact of Heavy Quark Masses on Parton Distributions and LHC Phenomenology

TL;DR: In this paper, a determination of the parton distributions of the nucleon from a global set of hard scattering data using the NNPDF methodology including heavy quark mass effects is presented, and the authors assess the impact of these uncertainties on LHC observables by providing parton sets with different values of the charm and bottom quark masses.

A first unbiased global determination of polarized PDFs and their uncertainties

TL;DR: In this paper, the NNPDFpol1.1.0 set of spin-dependent parton distribution functions (PDFs) and their uncertainties were used for the first time.

Measurement and QCD analysis of the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering cross-section at HERA

A. Aktas, +296 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process is presented, where the cross section is measured for photon virtualities in the range $3.5 \leq Q^2 \leqs 1600 \rm GeV^2, triple differentially in $\xpom$, $Q^2$ and $\beta = x / \xpom", where x$ is the Bjorken scaling variable.

Renormalization-group improved prediction for Higgs production at hadron colliders

TL;DR: This article used renormalization-group methods in effective field theory to improve the theoretical prediction for the cross section for Higgs-boson production at the Tevatron and the LHC.

Global QCD analysis of parton structure of the nucleon: CTEQ5 parton distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, an up-to-date global QCD analysis of high energy lepton-hadron and hadronhadron interactions is performed to better determine the gluon and quark parton distributions in the nucleon.

Matching NLO QCD and parton showers in heavy flavour production

TL;DR: In this paper, the MC@NLO approach was applied to the hadroproduction of gauge boson pairs at the Tevatron and LHC, where the mixture of final-state QCD radiation and different colour flows was considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy-quark correlations in hadron collisions at next-to-leading order

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a calculation of the fully exclusive parton cross sections for heavy-quark production at order O( α S 3 ) in QCD, where α is the number of quarks in the system.

Uncertainties of predictions from parton distributions I : experimental errors.

TL;DR: In this article, the uncertainties on observables arising from the errors on the experimental data that are fitted in the global MRST2001 parton analysis were determined by diagonalizing the error matrix and producing sets of partons suitable for use within the framework of linear propagation of errors.

NNLO global parton analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a NNLO (and a LO) global parton analysis was performed for the Tevatron high-ET jet data, and the results showed that the partons are changed by up to 10% at Q 2 = 10 GeV 2, in particular in the x < 0.01 regime.
