Description
An accurate and reliable determination of parton distribution functions is vital to fully exploit the potential of the LHC. However the LHC itself also has the ability to provide substantial constraints upon existing PDF determinations. We shall discuss the tools available to study the impact of LHC measurements upon PDFs and discuss the NNPDF2.3 PDF set, which includes constraints from LHC electroweak vector boson production and inclusive jet data.
