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.

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.

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. [...]

Precision determination of the strong coupling constant within a global PDF analysis
/ Ball, Richard D. (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Carrazza, Stefano (CERN) ; Del Debbio, Luigi (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Forte, Stefano (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Kassabov, Zahari (Cambridge U.) ; Rojo, Juan (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Slade, Emma (Oxford U., Theor. Phys.) ; Ubiali, Maria (Cambridge U., DAMTP)
/NNPDF Collaboration
We present a determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ based on the NNPDF3.1 determination of parton distributions, which for the first time includes constraints from jet production, top-quark pair differential distributions, and the $Z$ $p_T$ distributions using exact NNLO theory. Our result is based on a novel extension of the NNPDF methodology - the correlated replica method - which allows for a simultaneous determination of $\alpha_s$ and the PDFs with all correlations between them fully taken into account.

Phenomenology of NNLO jet production at the LHC and its impact on parton distributions

(Nikhef, Amsterdam) ; Pires, Joao (CMAF, Lisbon) ; Rojo, Juan (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; Nikhef, Amsterdam) et al.
We present a systematic investigation of jet production at hadron colliders from a phenomenological point of view, with the dual aim of providing a validation of theoretical calculations and guidance to future determinations of parton distributions (PDFs). We account for all available inclusive jet and dijet production measurements from ATLAS and CMS at 7 and 8 TeV by including them in a global PDF determination, and comparing to theoretical predictions at NNLO QCD supplemented by electroweak (EW) corrections.

Yadism: Yet Another Deep-Inelastic Scattering Module
/ Candido, Alessandro (INFN, Milan ; Milan U. ; CERN) ; Hekhorn, Felix (INFN, Milan ; Milan U. ; Jyvaskyla U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Magni, Giacomo (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Rabemananjara, Tanjona R. (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Stegeman, Roy (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.)
We present yadism, a library for the evaluation of both polarized and unpolarized deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) structure functions and cross sections up to N$^3$LO in perturbative QCD. The package provides computations of observables in fixed-flavor and zero-mass variable flavor number schemes. [...]

The LHC as a Neutrino-Ion Collider
/ Cruz-Martinez, Juan M. (CERN) ; Fieg, Max (UC, Irvine) ; Giani, Tommaso (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Krack, Peter (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Mäkelä, Toni (NCBJ, Warsaw) ; Rabemananjara, Tanjona R. (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Rojo, Juan (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam)
Proton-proton collisions at the LHC generate a high-intensity collimated beam of neutrinos in the forward (beam) direction, characterised by energies of up to several TeV. The recent observation of LHC neutrinos by FASER$\nu$ and SND@LHC signals that this hitherto ignored particle beam is now available for scientific inquiry. [...]

Response to "Parton distributions need representative sampling"
/ Ball, Richard D. (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Cruz-Martinez, Juan (CERN) ; Del Debbio, Luigi (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Forte, Stefano (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Kassabov, Zahari (Cambridge U., DAMTP) ; Nocera, Emanuele R. (Turin U.) ; Rojo, Juan (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; Nikhef, Amsterdam) ; Stegeman, Roy (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Ubiali, Maria (Cambridge U., DAMTP)
We respond to the criticism raised by Courtoy et al., in which the faithfulness of the NNPDF4.0 sampling is questioned and an under-estimate of the NNPDF4.0 PDF uncertainties is implied. [...]
