Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions (nPDFs) and Their Uncertainties in the LHC Era
Abstract
We have presented the results of our next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (nuclear PDFs) [Phys. Rev. D 93 (2016) 014026, arXiv:1601.00939 [hep-ph]] using all available neutral current charged-lepton (ℓ± + nucleus) deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) data as well as Drell-Yan (DY) crosssection ratios
