Stanislav Shushkevich (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))23/04/2013, 08:30Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013A measurement of the integrated luminosity at the ep collider HERA is presented, exploiting the elastic QED Compton process ep \rightarrow ep. The electron and the photon are detected in the backward calorimeter of the H1 experiment. The integrated luminosity of the data recorded in 2003 to 2007 is determined with a precision of 2.3%. The measurement is found to be compatible with the...Go to contribution page

Sergey Alekhin (DESY-Zeuthen)23/04/2013, 09:15Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013We report on an update of the ABM NNLO PDF fit, which includes recent LHC data on the W- and Z-boson production along with their experimental uncertainties. We illustrate the constraints on PDFs coming from those LHC data and we also perform a determination of the strong coupling constant alpha_s. Cross section predictions for important benchmark processes at the LHC will be presented.Go to contribution page

Alberto Accardi (Hampton U. and Jefferson Lab)23/04/2013, 09:40Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013I present three new sets of next-to-leading order parton distribution functions (PDFs) determined by global fits to a wide variety of data for hard scattering processes. The analysis includes target mass and higher twist corrections needed for the description of deep inelastic scattering data at large x and low Q^2, and nuclear corrections for deuterium targets. The PDF sets correspond to...Go to contribution page

Mr Nathan Hartland (University of Edinburgh)23/04/2013, 11:25Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013An 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...Go to contribution page

Ringaile Placakyte (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))23/04/2013, 11:50Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013The proton parton distribution functions (PDFs) are essential for precision physics at the LHC and other hadron colliders. Their current level of accuracy dominates the theory uncertainties in Higgs production and it affects substantially theory predictions for Beyond Standard Model high mass production. The determination of the PDFs is a complex endeavor involving several physics...Go to contribution page

Pavel Starovoitov (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))23/04/2013, 12:05Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013Inclusive jet and dijet double-differential cross sections have been measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 and 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector. The cross sections were measured using jets clustered with the anti-kT algorithm.

Benjamin Watt (UCL)23/04/2013, 14:00Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013The effect of recent ATLAS inclusive- and di-jet results on the current standard PDF sets is investigated, and compared and contrasted to similar results from the Tevatron. We study the effect of the data using the parton reweighting technique. For ATLAS inclusive jets, there is good agreement across all values of x, and no significant pull is seen on the gluon. For dijets, both D0 and ATLAS...Go to contribution page

Dr Marco Guzzi (Desy Hamburg)23/04/2013, 15:12Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013The rate of the ttbar production at the LHC is large enough to make thorough measurements of the differential cross section in terms of the relevant kinematic final-state variables, i.e. transverse momentum $P_T$, rapidity $y$, invariant mass, etc.. The theoretical analysis of such differential distributions requires knowledge of QCD corrections beyond the NLO as well as higher-order...Go to contribution page

Juan Rojo Chacon (CERN)23/04/2013, 15:36Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013We derive NNLO+NNLL theoretical predictions for top quark pair production based on all the available NNLO PDF sets, and compare them with the most precise LHC and Tevatron data. In this comparison we study in detail the PDF uncertainty and the scale, $m_t$ and $\alpha_s$ dependence of the theoretical predictions for each PDF set. Next, we exploit the observation that top quark pair production...Go to contribution page

Martin Hentschinski (Brookhaven National Laboratory)24/04/2013, 11:22Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013Physical anomalous dimensions allow to describe the Q2 dependence of proton structure functions in a factorization scheme independent manner.

Cynthia Keppel (Jefferson Lab)24/04/2013, 14:00Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013While an impressive amount of high quality nucleon structure function data exists from hydrogen, deuterium, and other targets, the lack of a neutron target has made direct comparisons between proton and neutron structure nearly impossible at large x where nuclear e๏ฌects become large. The behavior of the d quark as x approaches 1 is particularly sensitive to deuterium nuclear corrections. The...Go to contribution page

Eric Voutier (LPSC/IN2P3/CNRS - UJF - INP)24/04/2013, 14:45Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013The partonic structure of hadrons as encoded via the so-called generalized parton distributions (GPD) can be accessed via deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) experiments. Similarly to the scattering of light by a material, DVCS provides information about the dynamics and the spatial structure of hadrons.

Dr Eliezer Piasetzky (Tel Aviv University)24/04/2013, 15:10Structure functions and Parton DensitiesTalk in Parallel Session at DIS2013The deep inelastic scattering cross section for scattering from bound nucleons differs from that of free nucleons. This phenomenon, first discovered 30 years ago, is known as the EMC effect and is still not fully understood. Recent analysis of world data showed that the strength of the EMC effect is linearly correlated with the relative amount of Two-Nucleon Short Range Correlated pairs...Go to contribution page
