Theoretical issues in PDF determination and associated uncertainties

摘要:

我们研究了几个来源的理论不确定性的部分子分布(PDF),这可能会影响目前的PDF集用于精密物理在大型强子对撞机的确定,并解释它们之间的差异。我们特别考虑使用固定风味与可变风味数重整化方案,更高的扭曲校正,和核校正。我们在NNPDF2.3全局PDF确定的框架中进行研究,通过量化每种情况下不同理论假设对输出PDF的影响。我们还研究了在每种情况下的LHC基准截面的影响。我们发现,在一个固定的味道数计划的全球拟合的影响是巨大的,更高的扭曲的影响是可以忽略不计的,核校正的影响是温和的和有限的。

英文摘要:

We study several sources of theoretical uncertainty in the determination of parton distributions (PDFs) which may affect current PDF sets used for precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider, and explain discrepancies between them. We consider in particular the use of fixed-flavor versus variable-flavor number renormalization schemes, higher twist corrections, and nuclear corrections. We perform our study in the framework of the NNPDF2.3 global PDF determination, by quantifying in each case the impact of different theoretical assumptions on the output PDFs. We also study in each case the implications for benchmark cross sections at the LHC. We find that the impact in a global fit of a fixed-flavor number scheme is substantial, the impact of higher twists is negligible, and the impact of nuclear corrections is moderate and circumscribed.
