Juan Rojo

摘要:

我们量化的约束夸克和反夸克之间的味道分离的质子提供的最近的前向弱规范玻色子生产数据从LHCb实验在$\sqrt{s}=7$和8 TeV。在NNPDF3.1全球分析的框架下进行,这项研究突出了LHCb W和Z数据在大x区域实现强大的夸克味分离中的关键作用,包括奇怪和魅力夸克。我们演示了如何LHCb测量导致改进的决定的上和下夸克PDF的区域$x\ge 0.1$,与不确定性减少,可以大到一个因素2。我们还展示了如何LHCb的前向测量严重限制的大小的拟合魅力PDF在大x,施加严格的约束非微扰模型的魅力内容的核子。

英文摘要:

We quantify the constraints on the flavour separation between the quarks and antiquarks in the proton provided by the recent forward weak gauge boson production data from the LHCb experiment at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 TeV. Performed in the framework of the NNPDF3.1 global analysis, this study highlights the key role that the LHCb W and Z data have in achieving a robust quark flavour separation in the large-x region, including the strange and charm quarks. We demonstrate how the LHCb measurements lead to improved determinations of the the up and down quark PDFs in the region $x\ge 0.1$, with an uncertainty reduction that can be as large as a factor 2. We also show how the LHCb forward measurements severely restrict the size of the fitted charm PDF at large x, imposing stringent constraints on non-perturbative models for the charm content of the nucleon.
