Reduction of the PDF Uncertainty in the High-Mass Drell-Yan Spectrum with ePump

We present a study in which the possibility of a (sizable) nonperturbative contribution to the charm parton distribution function (PDF) in a nucleon is investigated together with theoretical issues arising in its interpretation. The separation of the universal component of the nonperturbative charm from the rest of the radiative contributions is also discussed. We illustrate the potential impact of a nonperturbative charm PDF on LHC scattering processes. An estimate of nonperturbative charm magnitude in the CT14 and CT14HERA2 global QCD analyses at the next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) in the QCD coupling strength is given by including the latest experimental data from HERA and the Large Hadron Collider. We show a comparison between different models of intrinsic charm and illustrate prospects for standard candle observables at the LHC.

Heavy flavors on CT14

In the context of the CT14 analysis of parton distribution functions, we propose a new technique for generation of Monte-Carlo replica sets from Hessian eigenvector sets. The technique preserves non-negative behavior and asymmetry properties of Hessian eigenvector sets. The generated ensemble of Monte-Carlo replicas is suitable for various applications, such as Bayesian reweighting and combination of PDF ensembles.
