11:00 - 12:00 Journal Club: Experiment & Phenomenology Constraints on nuclear parton distributions from dijet photoproduction at the LHC School PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS Based on: 1902.05126[hep-ph]. Abstract: Using QCD calculations of the cross section of inclusive dijet photoproduction in Pb-Pb ultraperipheral collisions in the LHC kinematics as pseudo-data, we study the effect of including these data using the Bayesian reweighting technique on nCTEQ15, nCTEQ15np, and EPPS16 nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs). We find that, depending on the assumed error of the pseudo-data, it leads to a significant reduction of the nPDF uncertainties at small values of the momentum fraction xA. Taking the error to be 5%, the uncertainty of nCTEQ15 and nCTEQ15np nPDFs reduces approximately by a factor of t ... 16:00 - 18:00 Biweekly Seminar The perils of benevolence School PHILOSOPHY The perils of benevolence ... |
