Top production at the LHC: The impact of PDF uncertaintiesand correlations
暂无分享,去创建一个
In this contribution we discuss the impact of PDF uncertainties on t¯t and t-channel single-top production at the LHC. We present predictions for total cross-sections computed at NLO accuracy with different PDF sets. For singletop production, we point out that the uncertainty arising from the choice of the bottom quark mass is one of the dominant theoretical uncertainties on the total
cross-section. Finally, the possibility of using PDF-induced correlations between top quark and electroweak vector boson production cross-sections to improve the
accuracy of LHC measurements is investigated.
