Description
The xFitter (former HERAFitter) is an open-source package that provides
a framework for the determination of the proton PDFs and covers a large
number of the existing methods and schemes for PDF determination.
xFitter also provides facilities to use diverse methodologies alternative to the
standard collinear formalism, as provided by DGLAP evolution equations.
The emphasis of this presentation is on the recent developments related to
these different approaches ranging from simple dipole models to address
the saturation phenomenology, to the advances in using resummed PDFs
and transverse momentum dependent PDFs (TMDs), as implemented in the xFitter package.
