Deuteron uncertainties in the determination of proton PDFs
Abstract We evaluate the uncertainties due to nuclear effects in global fits of proton parton distribution functions (PDFs) that utilise deep-inelastic scattering and Drell–Yan data on deuterium targets. To do this we use an iterative procedure to determine proton and deuteron PDFs simultaneously, e...
