====== 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 [[physics:crosssections|here]], and more on **luminosity** can be found [[physics:lumi|here]] instead.
===== General =====

  * [[http://nnpdf.mi.infn.it|NNPDF Collaboration]] with [[http://nnpdf.mi.infn.it/documents/papers/|their papers]]
  * [[https://lhapdf.hepforge.org|LHAPDF library]] to evaluate PDFs, in [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/SWGuideLHAPDF|CMSSW]]
  * a very nice summary about PDFs at the LHC is made in [[https://indico.cern.ch/event/667965/contributions/2787600/attachments/1584573/2504939/Rojo.pdf|these slides]] and in [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.04922|this paper ("The Structure of the Proton in the LHC Precision Era", 2017)]].
