Description
We study the uncertainties of the Higgs boson and ttbar production cross sections at the LHC arising from the uncertainties
of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) and of the value of the strong coupling constant αs(MZ). We investigate the robustness
of the commonly-used Hessian approach by comparing with the more-general Lagrange Multiplier method within the CTEQ-TEA
global analysis, for the two processes.
