First global next-to-leading order determination of diffractive parton distribution functions and their uncertainties within the xFitter framework

Abstract We present GKG18-DPDFs, a next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD analysis of diffractive parton distribution functions (diffractive PDFs) and their uncertainties. This is the first global set of diffractive PDFs determined within the xFitter framework. This analysis is motivated by all available a...
