Collider: Belle, PDF
- dorival Gonçalves (Oklahoma State University)
The Belle II experiment has collected 424 fb$^{-1}$ sample of $e^+e^-$ collisions produced by the asymmetric SuperKEKB collider, at a centre-of-mass energy equal to or near the mass of the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. Ninety-percent of the sample is at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, which decays to $B$-meson pairs. The predecessor experiment, Belle, collected nearly $1~{\rm ab}^{-1}$ of data from...
With the HL-LHC and EIC on the horizon, high-precision measurements are paramount to both SM and BSM studies. As PDF uncertainty is often a limiting factor, our goal is not only to ‘fit’ PDFs but also to better understand the underlying process at the precision level. We describe ongoing projects within both the nCTEQ and BNL-based SURGE project as we explore and characterize the full...
On the example of recent work by the CTEQ-TEA group, I discuss the progress on precision parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the proton. I particularly emphasize new insights on quantification of uncertainties on PDFs that affect key electroweak and Higgs precision studies at the HL-LHC.
