LHC data and Parton Distribution Functions

Uncertainties on Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) limit our knowledge of cross sections whether SM or BSM. Any claim for new physics at the highest masses is dependent on the PDF chosen to describe conventional physics. Standard Model LHC measurements can themselves contribute to PDF discriminat...

Sumario:Uncertainties on Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) limit our knowledge of cross sections whether SM or BSM. Any claim for new physics at the highest masses is dependent on the PDF chosen to describe conventional physics. Standard Model LHC measurements can themselves contribute to PDF discrimination and PDF improvement. This talk illustrates this using measurements on: W and Z production W+c production Inclusive Jet and Di-Jet production Drell-Yan: low and high invariant mass Top
