15:00 → 16:00 PDF's for Run 2 at the LHC

I will discuss the new generation of PDFs from global analysis groups, concentrating on CT14, but making comparisons with HERAPDF2.0, MMHT2014 and NNPDF3.0. I will discuss the upcoming PDF4LHC recommendations for uncertainties at the LHC, along with two frameworks for the replication of those uncertainties with a minimum number of error PDFs.

Speaker: Prof. Joey Huston (Michigan State University (US))
