Rhorry Gauld (IPPP Durham University)04/09/2015, 12:30PDFsMeasurements of forward heavy quark production simultaneously provides sensitivity to relatively large- and small-$x$ PDFs. I will discuss how measurements of prompt charm production (with carefully selected observables) can be used to constrain the gluon PDF for values of $x < 10^{-5}$ --- a kinematic region which is not well constrained by pre-LHC data.Go to contribution page

German Sborlini (IFIC-Valencia)04/09/2015, 12:40Higher-order computations require to combine real and virtual contributions in order to cancel infrared (IR) singularities. Loop-tree duality (LTD) allows to express virtual contributions in terms of phase-space integrals, which enables to add them directly to the real radiation terms. Thus, we obtain expressions that can be integrated in four dimensions and we avoid the introduction of IR...Go to contribution page

Jelena Luetic (Institute Rudjer Boskovic (HR))04/09/2015, 17:00Heavy QuarksAccurate modeling of V+jets is important for many measurements at the LHC. W/Z+jets is for example a dominant background for precision top quark measurements. After the discovery of the Higgs boson and the beginning of the Higgs precision measurement era, accurate modeling of the background processes is essential.
