The structure of the proton in the LHC precision era

J Gao, L Harland-Lang, J Rojo - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review recent progress in the determination of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of
the proton, with emphasis on the applications for precision phenomenology at the Large …

Parton distributions in nucleons and nuclei

JJ Ethier, ER Nocera - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
We review the current status of parton distribution function (PDF) determinations for
unpolarized and longitudinally polarized protons and for unpolarized nuclei, which are …

Approximate NLO parton distribution functions with theoretical uncertainties: MSHT20aNLO PDFs

J McGowan, T Cridge, LA Harland-Lang… - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
We present the first global analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs) at approximate N

A facility to Search for Hidden Particles at the CERN SPS: the SHiP physics case

S Alekhin, W Altmannshofer, T Asaka… - Reports on progress …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper describes the physics case for a new fixed target facility at CERN SPS. The SHiP
(search for hidden particles) experiment is intended to hunt for new physics in the largely …

HERAFitter: Open source QCD fit project

S Alekhin, O Behnke, P Belov, S Borroni… - The European Physical …, 2015 - Springer
HERAFitter is an open-source package that provides a framework for the determination of
the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton and for many different kinds of analyses …

The ABM parton distributions tuned to LHC data

S Alekhin, J Blümlein, S Moch - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We present a global fit of parton distributions at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in
QCD. The fit is based on the world data for deep-inelastic scattering, fixed-target data for the …

Leptoproduction of heavy quarks. II. A unified QCD formulation of charged and neutral current processes from fixed-target to collider energies

MAG Aivazis, JC Collins, FI Olness, WK Tung - Physical Review D, 1994 - APS
A unified QCD formulation of leptoproduction of massive quarks in charged current and
neutral current processes is described. This involves adopting consistent factorization and …

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

A Aktas, V Andreev, T Anthonis, B Antunovic… - The European Physical …, 2006 - Springer
A detailed analysis is presented of the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process ep→
eXY, where Y is a proton or a low mass proton excitation carrying a fraction 1-x IP> 0.95 of …

Improving the Weizsäcker-Williams approximation in electron-proton collisions

S Frixione, ML Mangano, P Nason, G Ridolfi - Physics Letters B, 1993 - Elsevier
We critically examine the validity of the Weizsäcker-Williams approximation in electron-
hadron collisions. We show that in its commonly used form it can lead to large errors, and we …

A critical appraisal and evaluation of modern PDFs

A Accardi, S Alekhin, J Blümlein, MV Garzelli… - The European Physical …, 2016 - Springer
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 …
