Description
Gluon nuclear Parton distribution functions (nPDFs) have been the subject of many studies over the past years, since they are important for many processes and difficult to constrain. Recently, nCTEQ15 nPDFs have been updated with vector boson and single inclusive hadron production data to address this issue. To constrain the gluon nPDF further, particularly towards $x$ values smaller than $10^{-4}$, we present a new global analysis that employs a data driven approach to include the vast body of heavy quark production data from the LHC. The approach allows control over the theoretical uncertainties and can potentially be used for a wide range of produced particles.
