This work is an extension of a previous publication [1] where we fitted the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ together with the non-perturbative parameter $\alpha_0$ from event-shape and jet-shape distributions using power corrections computed in…
We describe the inclusion of the photon as an additional component of the proton's Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) in the MMHT framework. The input for the photon is adopted from the recent LUXqed determination. We describe the…
In this proceeding we present the impact of the EW corrections on $t \bar t$ distributions focusing on the effect of the photon PDF. We use the {\sc NNPDF2.3QED} and {\sc CT14QED} PDF sets, which include the photon PDF. We discuss a…
We present a determination of the strong coupling $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ from a global dataset including both fixed-target and collider data from deep-inelastic scattering and a variety of hadronic processes, with a simultaneous determination of…
Parton distribution functions (PDFs) play a central role in calculations for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). To gain a deeper understanding of the emergence and interplay of constraints on the PDFs in the global QCD analyses, it is…
We discuss the impact of EW corrections on differential distributions in top-quark pair production at the LHC and future hadron colliders, focusing on the effects of initial-state photons. Performing a calculation at Next-to-Leading Order…
Despite the high accuracy of photometric redshifts (zphot) derived using Machine Learning (ML) methods, the quantification of errors through reliable and accurate Probability Density Functions (PDFs) is still an open problem. First, because…
Given the non-negligible interplay between parton distribution functions (PDFs) at large x and potential New Physics (NP) effects in the high-energy tails of hadron collider observables, a central question is which PDFs can be reliably…
We examine properties of small-radius jets, focusing on phenomenological applications to the inclusive jet spectrum. We match fixed-order calculations with the leading-logarithmic resummation of the jet radius (LL$_R$), and propose a new…
The quality of datasets is one of the key factors that affect the accuracy of aerodynamic data models. For example, in the uniformly sampled Burgers' dataset, the insufficient high-speed data is overwhelmed by massive low-speed data.…
We study the effects of radiative transfer on the Probability Distribution Functions (PDFs) of simulations of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the widely studied $^{13}$CO 2-1 transition. We find that the integrated intensity maps…
We present a new public code, FPPDF, to perform global fits of parton distribution functions (PDFs). The fitting methodology follows that implemented by the MSHT collaboration, namely applying a fixed polynomial parameterisation of the PDFs…
A thorough understanding of the issues surrounding the determination of parton distributions is crucial due to their importance to calculations of LHC observables. However, it is still not fully understood how much of an impact…
This paper presents a new tool to perform various steps in jet tagger development in an efficient and comprehensive way. A common data structure is used for training, as well as for performance evaluation in data. The introduction of this…
The HERAPDF1.0 PDF set, which was an NLO QCD analysis based on H1 and ZEUS combined inclusive cross section data from HERA-I, has been updated to HERAPDF1.5 by including preliminary inclusive cross section data from HERA-II running. Studies…
We present a perturbative QCD analysis concerning the production of high-pT dijets in p+Pb collisions at the LHC. The next-to-leading order corrections, scale variations and free-proton PDF uncertainties are found to have only a relatively…
The abundant amount of data to be collected by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in future runs of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN opens up a new era of precision physics. Some of the most prominent precision observables are related to…
A clear understanding of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) plays a crucial role in the interpretation of collider data taken at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and in the near future…
This contribution to the Italian "Workshop sui Monte Carlo, la Fisica e le Simulazioni a LHC", held at LNF, Frascati, in February, May and October 2006, summarises the status of parton density functions (PDF's) and the impact of their…
Recent studies have highlighted the potential of jet substructure techniques to identify the hadronic decays of boosted heavy particles. These studies all rely upon the assumption that the internal substructure of jets generated by QCD…
