Abstract

Parton distribution functions (PDFs) are crucial ingredients for the calculation of the relevant cross sections for various scattering processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Including data from several previous experiments, the authors find new PDFs, which will be important for the data analysis at the LHC Run-2.
