nPDF constraints from the Large Hadron Electron Collider

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-06-30 v1

Abstract

An updated analysis regarding the expected nuclear PDF constraints from the future Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) experiment is presented. The new study is based on a more flexible small-xx parametrization which provides less biased uncertainty estimates in the region where there are currently no data constraints. The effect of the LHeC is quantified by directly including a sample of pseudodata according to the expected precision of this planned experiment. As a result, a significant reduction of the small-xx uncertainties in sea quarks and gluons is observed.
