Uncertainties of Predictions from Parton Distribution Functions: 1, the Lagrange Multiplier Method

We apply the Lagrange Multiplier method to study the uncertainties of physical predictions due to the uncertainties of parton distribution functions (PDFs), using the cross section for W production at a hadron collider as an archetypal example. An effective chi-squared function based on the CTEQ glo...
