Parton distribution functions at CMS
This page aims to collect information about PDFs that are relevant for CMS. More on cross sections can be found here, and more on luminosity can be found here instead.
General
- LHAPDF library to evaluate PDFs, in CMSSW
- a very nice summary about PDFs at the LHC is made in these slides and in this paper ("The Structure of the Proton in the LHC Precision Era", 2017).
Table summarizing the available PDF sets and how to what data they were fitted (made by M. Ubiali at DIS2017).
