News:

======

- Conferences ongoing: LHCp, HP, stay tuned

- Preference for ZOOM vs. Vidyo ? Let us know !

- Roadmap of activities of the group ready

- Any suggestion on the common activities/need for

summary plots

- Today's subject: nPDF

 

Ingo Schienbein : CTEQ and HonexComb (HC)

====================================

 - Possible ways HC can help CTEQ ?

 => More precise data for combination analyses,

 cannot be done by the theorists (!)

   o this would allow to reduce the uncertainties

   of the PDFs

 

 - Interesting subjects for CTEQ at the LHC (pPb)

 o W/Z, heavy quarks, prompt photon, inclusive jets

   = some data exist, not complete

   = +ve y : small x, -ve y : large x

   = global fits exist also, using Atlas+CMS for W/Z in pPb

     to extract the pdfs of light quarks

   = comparison with W CMS data Run I and Run II shows still

   some discrepancies

   = also compared with Lambda_c and D0, and their ratio

   for ALICE and CMS (same y, good place for combination)

   = also compared with heavy quark(onium) => better description 

   = Reweighted gluon results in good agreement with LHCb data

   for beauty production

 - Outlook: 

   - prompt photon studies could help in small-x region

   - combination could help for reducing the precisions

 

Questions:

- Marco van Leeuwen: the statistical uncertainties are taken properly into account in the combination ?combination only relevant if stat very very low

- RGdC: Need cleaner probes 

- MWinn: LHCb results are published

- A.Andronic: are different datasets treated independently ? not exactly correct.

 

Petja Paakkinen : EPPS and HonexComb

====================================

o Introduction to EPPS

o Uses RFB measurements

o compared with LHCb and CMS measurements

  - dijet and D0 data support antishadowing/shadowing in

  specific regions of x

  - also CMS W boson to be included soon

o would like to know the correlations between

the measurements to constrain the fits and

reduce the uncertainties

Questions:

- RGdC: would a measurement of DY at low mass (<10GeV) help

for the nPDF ? - yes, would put contrains the small-x gluons

- Ingo: also the photon distributions would be useful

- MWinn: is UPC with high statistics (in pp, Durham group)

  important for PDFs measurements ?

 => PP: it depends on observables, e.g. JPsis affected by theory uncertainties

 not under control (it is probing not the inclusive PDF but the

 generalised PDF, at a certain limit these two can be the same,

 but not clear if that limit is accessible experimentally or not

 just); dijet in UPC is a cleaner probe (Atlas)

 => IS: idem.

 o CMS measurement of DY:
