PHYSTAT Seminar: Uncertainty quantification for Parton Density Distributions (PDFs)

Wednesday 28 May 2025, 15:30 → 17:30 Europe/Zurich

This virtual Seminar with two speakers discusses the statisticial uncertainty quantification for the Parton Density Distributions (PDFs) inside protons or heavier nuclei. The PDFs are a fundamental ingredient for predicting the rates of important processes such as Higgs production in pp collisions at the LHC. 

Agenda:

3.30 - 4 pm	Pavel Nadolsky (SMU)	Introduction and CTEQ view
4 - 4.15 pm	Questions to Pavel
4.15 - 4.45 pm	Maria Ubiali (Cambridge)	NNPDF view
4.45 - 5 pm	Questions to Maria
5 - 5.30 pm	General discussion and conclusion
