We introduce PineAPPL, a library that produces fast-interpolation grids of physical cross sections, computed with a general-purpose Monte Carlo generator, accurate to fixed order in the strong, electroweak, and combined strong-electroweak couplings. We demonstrate this unique ability, that distinguishes PineAPPL from similar software available in the literature, by interfacing it to MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. We compute fast-interpolation grids, accurate to next-to-leading order in the strong and electroweak couplings, for a representative set of LHC processes for which EW corrections may have a sizeable effect on the accuracy of the corresponding theoretical predictions. We formulate a recommendation on the format of the experimental deliverables in order to consistently compare them with computations that incorporate EW corrections, and specifically to determine parton distribution functions to the same accuracy.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A single xFitter global fit extracts PDFs, alpha_s(mZ), top pole mass, and sin^2 theta_eff simultaneously at NNLO, with NLO NRQCD threshold corrections, yielding m_t=172.59 GeV, alpha_s=0.1179, sin^2 theta_eff=0.23142.

  2. Impact of Z-boson transverse-momentum resummation on PDF determination

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    N3LL' resummation is required to reconcile the 13 TeV ATLAS Z-pT spectrum with global PDF fits, but lowering the pT cut below 30 GeV is not yet supported.

  3. A Determination of the Top Mass from a Global PDF Analysis

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The top-quark pole mass is determined to be 172.80 ± 0.26 GeV from a global NNPDF analysis at approximate N³LO QCD including NLO QED, EW, and toponium corrections.

  5. Tailored PDFs for New Physics searches

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using closure tests with W', Z', and coloron models, the paper shows that either excluding high-energy data or fitting PDFs jointly with SMEFT coefficients prevents new-physics signals from being absorbed into the pro...

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    Modern global QCD analyses agree that up-quark helicity is positive and down-quark helicity negative, with positive gluon polarisation at moderate x, while the full gluon spin moment remains limited by the unmeasured ...
