(Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Rabemananjara, Tanjona R.

Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Ubiali, Maria (Cambridge U., DAMTP)
We present a systematic comparison of theoretical predictions and various high-precision experimental measurements, specifically of differential cross sections performed by the LHC run II for Drell-Yan gauge boson, top-quark pair, single-inclusive jet and di-jet production, and by HERA for single-inclusive jet and di-jet production.

The path to $\hbox {N}^3\hbox {LO}$ parton distributions
/ NNPDF Collaboration
We extend the existing leading (LO), next-to-leading (NLO), and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) NNPDF4.0 sets of parton distribution functions (PDFs) to approximate next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (aN$^3$LO). We construct an approximation to the N$^3$LO splitting functions that includes all available partial information from both fixed-order computations and from small and large $x$ resummation, and estimate the uncertainty on this approximation by varying the set of basis functions used to construct the approximation. [...]

LO, NLO, and NNLO Parton Distributions for LHC Event Generators
/ Cruz-Martinez, Juan (CERN) ; Forte, Stefano (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Laurenti, Niccolo (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Rabemananjara, Tanjona R. (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Rojo, Juan (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam)
We present NNPDF4.0MC, a variant of the NNPDF4.0 set of parton distributions (PDFs) at LO, NLO and NNLO, with and without inclusion of the photon PDF, suitable for use with Monte Carlo (MC) event generators, which require PDFs to satisfy additional constraints in comparison to standard PDF sets. These requirements include PDF positivity down to a low scale $Q\sim 1$ GeV, smooth extrapolation in the very small and large $x$ regions, and numerically stable results even in extreme regions of phase space for all PDFs.

Photons in the proton: implications for the LHC
/ NNPDF Collaboration
We construct a set of parton distribution functions (PDFs), based on the recent NNPDF4.0 PDF set, that also include a photon PDF. The photon PDF is constructed using the LuxQED formalism, while QED evolution accounting for O(alpha), O(alpha alphas) and O(alpha^2) corrections is implemented and benchmarked by means of the EKO code. [...]

/NNPDF Collaboration
We provide a first quantitative indication that the wave function of the proton contains unequal distributions of charm quarks and antiquarks, i.e. a nonvanishing intrinsic valence charm distribution. [...]
