We present a determination of parton distribution functions (ABM11) and the strong coupling constant alpha_s at next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD based on world data for deep-inelastic scattering and fixed-target data for the Drell-Yan process. The analysis is performed in the fixed-flavor number scheme for n_f=3,4,5 and uses the MSbar-scheme for alpha_s and the heavy-quark masses. At NNLO we obtain the value alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1134 +- 0.0011. The fit results are used to compute benchmark cross sections at hadron colliders to NNLO accuracy and to compare to data from the LHC.

  1. An analysis of nuclear parton distribution function based on relative entropy

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A relative-entropy method with a minimum-relative-entropy hypothesis reproduces quark nPDF shapes from global fits and indicates that EPPS21 gluon central values align more closely with the hypothesis than nNNPDF3.0.

  2. Analytical solution to DGLAP integro-differential equation via complex maps in domains of contour integrals

    hep-th 2019-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    In the single-term splitting function model, complex maps turn DGLAP contour integrals into Laplace transforms whose inverse yields Barnes integrals for the Bessel solution.
