nCTEQ15 - Global analysis of nuclear parton distributions with uncertainties

Conference Kusina, A. ; Kovarik, Karol ; Jezo, T. ; ...

We present the first official release of the nCTEQ nuclear parton distribution functions with errors. The main addition to the previous nCTEQ PDFs is the introduction of PDF uncertainties based on the Hessian method. Another important addition is the inclusion of pion production data from RHIC that give us a handle on constraining the gluon PDF. This contribution summarizes our results from arXiv:1509.00792 and concentrates on the comparison with other groups providing nuclear parton distributions.

Impact of hadronic and nuclear corrections on global analysis of spin-dependent parton distributions

Journal Article Jimenez-Delgado, Pedro ; Accardi, Alberto ; Melnitchouk, Wally - Physical Review D

We present the first results of a new global next-to-leading order analysis of spin-dependent parton distribution functions from the most recent world data on inclusive polarized deep-inelastic scattering, focusing in particular on the large-x and low-Q^2 regions. By directly fitting polarization asymmetries we eliminate biases introduced by using polarized structure function data extracted under nonuniform assumptions for the unpolarized structure functions. For analysis of the large-x data we implement nuclear smearing corrections for deuterium and 3He nuclei, and systematically include target mass and higher twist corrections to the g_1 and g_2 structure functions at low Q^2. We also explore themore »« less

Global NLO Analysis of Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions

Journal Article Hirai, M ; Kumano, S ; Department of Particle and Nuclear Studies, Graduate University for Advanced Studies 1-1, Ooho, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-0801 ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Nuclear parton distribution functions (NPDFs) are determined by a global analysis of experimental measurements on structure-function ratios F{sub 2}{sup A}/F{sub 2}{sup A{sup '}} and Drell-Yan cross section ratios {sigma}{sub DY}{sup A}/{sigma}{sub DY}{sup A{sup '}}, and their uncertainties are estimated by the Hessian method. The NPDFs are obtained in both leading order (LO) and next-to-leading order (NLO) of {alpha}{sub s}. As a result, valence-quark distributions are relatively well determined, whereas antiquark distributions at x>0.2 and gluon distributions in the whole x region have large uncertainties. The NLO uncertainties are slightly smaller than the LO ones; however, such a NLO improvement ismore »« less

nCTEQ15 - Global analysis of nuclear parton distributions with uncertainties in the CTEQ framework

Journal Article Kovarik, K. ; Kusina, A. ; Jezo, T. ; ... - Physical Review D

We present the new nCTEQ15 set of nuclear parton distribution functions with uncertainties. This fit extends the CTEQ proton PDFs to include the nuclear dependence using data on nuclei all the way up to ²⁰⁸Pb. The uncertainties are determined using the Hessian method with an optimal rescaling of the eigenvectors to accurately represent the uncertainties for the chosen tolerance criteria. In addition to the Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) and Drell-Yan (DY) processes, we also include inclusive pion production data from RHIC to help constrain the nuclear gluon PDF. Here, we investigate the correlation of the data sets with specific nPDFmore »« less
