The exclusive J/ψ process at the LHC tamed to probe the low x gluon (2016)
Journal Article
Jones, S., Martin, A., Ryskin, M., & Teubner, T. (2016). The exclusive J/ψ process at the LHC tamed to probe the low x gluon. The European Physical Journal C, 76(11), Article 633. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4493-y

The perturbative QCD expansion for J/ψ photoproduction appears to be unstable: the NLO correction is large (and of opposite sign) to the LO contribution. Moreover, the predictions are very sensitive to the choice of factorisation and renormalisation... Read More about The exclusive J/ψ process at the LHC tamed to probe the low x gluon.

Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations (2016)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., Ryskin, M., & Schegelsky, V. (2016). Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations. The European Physical Journal C, 76(4), Article 193. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4055-3

We argue that the secondaries produced in high-energy hadron collisions are emitted by small-size sources distributed over a much larger area in impact parameter space occupied by the interaction amplitude. That is, Bose–Einstein correlation of two e... Read More about Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations.

The impact of the final HERA combined data on PDFs obtained from a global fit (2016)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Martin, A., Motylinski, P., & Thorne, R. (2016). The impact of the final HERA combined data on PDFs obtained from a global fit. The European Physical Journal C, 76(4), Article 186. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4020-1

We investigate the effect of including the HERA run I + II combined cross section data on the MMHT2014 PDFs. We present the fit quality within the context of the global fit and when only the HERA data are included. We examine the changes in both the...

Advantages of exclusiveγγproduction to probe high mass systems (2016)
Journal Article
Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2016). Advantages of exclusiveγγproduction to probe high mass systems. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 43(4), Article 04LT02. https://doi.org/10.1088/0954-3899/43/4/04lt02

We recall that the exclusive production of high mass objects via γγ fusion at the LHC is not strongly suppressed in comparison with inclusive γγ fusion. Therefore it may be promising to study new objects, X, produced by the γγ subprocess in experimen... Read More about Advantages of exclusiveγγproduction to probe high mass systems.

Charm and beauty quark masses in the MMHT2014 global PDF analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Martin, A., Motylinski, P., & Thorne, R. (2016). Charm and beauty quark masses in the MMHT2014 global PDF analysis. The European Physical Journal C, 76(1), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3843-5

We investigate the variation in the MMHT2014 PDFs when we allow the heavy-quark masses mcmc and mbmb to vary away from their default values. We make PDF sets available in steps of Δmc=0.05 GeVΔmc=0.05 GeV and Δmb=0.25 GeVΔmb=0.25 GeV , and present th... Read More about Charm and beauty quark masses in the MMHT2014 global PDF analysis.
