Description
We present the xFitter project which provides an open-source software framework
for the determination of the proton's parton distribution functions and for the interpretation of the physics analyses in the context of Quantum Chromodynamics. The project has been used recently for a number of analyses performed by the LHC collaborations and theory community, which are summarized briefly. The xFitter developer’s team also performed several studies recently including determination of pion PDFs, studies of impact on PDFs of forward backward asymmetry in Drell Yan, and investigations of treatment of heavy flavors for charged current DIS processes.
