PHYSICS AT THE TERASCALE

Physics at the Terascale Research Topics RT1: Physics Analysis PDFs  · 

Analysis centre: Parton Distribution Functions

Mission
- provides training on all aspects concerning pdfs and inclusive hard scattering processes in ep and pp reactions
- supports the final analyses of HERA data w.r.t. to the extraction of pdfs
- coordinates comparisons of different pdf analyses to refine the understanding of pdfs and their errors, including α_s (M_Z ²)
- provides further theoretical calculations needed to improve ongoing ep and pp analyses
- will provide a platform to analyze inclusive hard scattering data at the LHC (W/Z-, top-quark-, Higgs-production) to refine the understanding of the pdfs
- will provide an open-source code for NNLO structure function and pp inclusive hard scattering process analyses to extract pdfs
