Inclusive prompt $$\chi _{c,b}(1^{++})$$ χ c , b ( 1 + + ) production at the LHC (2015)
Journal Article
Shuvaev, A., Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2015). Inclusive prompt $$\chi _{c,b}(1^{++})$$ χ c , b ( 1 + + ) production at the LHC. The European Physical Journal C, 75(12), Article 616. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3840-8

We study the prompt production of the χc(1+) and χb(1+) mesons at high energies. Unlike χ(0+,2+) production, χ(1+) mesons cannot be created at LO via the fusion of two on-mass-shell gluons, that is, gg→χc,b(1+) are not allowed. However, the available...

Uncertainties on αSαS in the MMHT2014 global PDF analysis and implications for SM predictions (2015)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Martin, A., Motylinski, P., & Thorne, R. (2015). Uncertainties on αSαS in the MMHT2014 global PDF analysis and implications for SM predictions. The European Physical Journal C, 75(9), Article 435. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3630-3

We investigate the uncertainty in the strong coupling αS(M2Z)αS(MZ2) when allowing it to be a free parameter in the recent MMHT global analyses of deep-inelastic and related hard scattering data that was undertaken to determine the parton distributio...

Parton distributions in the LHC era: MMHT 2014 PDFs (2015)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Martin, A., Motylinski, P., & Thorne, R. (2015). Parton distributions in the LHC era: MMHT 2014 PDFs. The European Physical Journal C, 75(5), Article 204. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3397-6

We present LO, NLO and NNLO sets of parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton determined from global analyses of the available hard scattering data. These MMHT2014 PDFs supersede the ‘MSTW2008’ parton sets, but they are obtained within the s... Read More about Parton distributions in the LHC era: MMHT 2014 PDFs.

Elastic scattering and diffractive dissociation in the light of LHC data (2015)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2015). Elastic scattering and diffractive dissociation in the light of LHC data. International Journal of Modern Physics A, 30(08), Article 1542004. https://doi.org/10.1142/s0217751x1542004x

We study the behavior of elastic and diffractive proton dissociation cross sections at high energy. First, we describe what would be expected to be observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) based on conventional Regge theory. We emphasize the tensi...
