Description
We update nCTEQ global analysis of Parton Distribution Functions
(PDFs). We use global Chi2 minimization and Hessian formalism to
determine the best fit and the PDF error set. The fit is performed at
next-to-leading order (NLO) using neutral current deeply inelastic
scattering (DIS), and Drell-Yan data for several nuclear targets.
The results are also ready to be used in analysis of the recent LHC heavy
ion data.
