The neural network approach to parton distributions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-08-14 v3

Abstract

We introduce the neural network approach to global fits of parton distrubution functions. First we review previous work on unbiased parametrizations of deep-inelastic structure functions with faithful estimation of their uncertainties, and then we summarize the current status of neural network parton distribution fits.
