Description

The determination of Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) is a crucial theoretical input for precise electroweak measurements at hadron colliders, in particular for the W mass measurements at the LHC. In this talk, I will describe the methodological advances in modern PDF determinations, with a particular focus on NNPDF. I will then mention new interesting challenges that modern fits of PDFs face at the precision frontier, in which it is crucial to assess the robustness of the uncertainties associated with the theory predictions.
