Parton distributions with QED corrections

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a next-to-next to-leading order accurate description of Drell-Yan lepton pair production processes through γ * /Z or W exchange that includes consistently parton shower effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a search for a heavy Higgs boson in the mass range from 0.2 to 3.0 TeV, decaying to a pair of W bosons, is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of photon-initiated channels on the NNPDF2.3QED and CT14QED PDF sets was investigated, where photon-induced contributions are sizeable and show large PDF uncertainties.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to W+gamma production, including the leptonic decay of the W boson and taking into account all off-shell effects of the w boson.

TL;DR: In this article, the first determination of parton distributions of the nucleon at NLO and NNLO based on a global data set which includes LHC data: NNPDF2.3 is presented, which includes, besides the deep inelastic, Drell-Yan, gauge boson production and jet data already used in previous global PDF determinations, all relevant LHC Data for which experimental systematic uncertainties are currently available: ATLAS and LHCb W and Z rapidity distributions from the 2010 run, CMS W electron asymmetry data from the 2011 run,

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present phenomenological results for vector boson pair production at the LHC, obtained using the parton-level next-to-leading order program MCFM, including the implementation of a new process in the code, pp → γγ, and important updates to existing processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the parton distributions of the nucleon from a global set of hard scattering data using the NNPDF methodology were determined using a neural network based parton parametrization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global parton analysis of deep inelastic and related hard-scattering data was performed, including the parton evolution of u and d type quarks.
