29 Mar 2016 | | Abstract: | We review the present status of the determination of parton distribution
functions (PDFs) in the light of the precision requirements for the LHC in Run
2 and other future hadron colliders. We provide brief reviews of all currently
available PDF sets and use them to compute cross sections for a number of
benchmark processes, including Higgs boson production in gluon-gluon fusion at
the LHC. We show that the differences in the predictions obtained with the
various PDFs are due to particular theory assumptions made in the fits of those
PDFs. We discuss PDF uncertainties in the kinematic region covered by the LHC
and on averaging procedures for PDFs, such as advocated by the PDF4LHC15 sets,
and provide recommendations for the usage of PDF sets for theory predictions at
the LHC. | | Source: | arXiv, 1603.8906 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
