Precision phenomenology with MCFM
read the original abstract
Without proper control of numerical and methodological errors in theoretical predictions at the per mille level it is not possible to study the effect of input parameters in current hadron-collider measurements at the required precision. We present a new version of the parton-level code MCFM that achieves this requirement through its highly-parallelized nature, significant performance improvements and new features. An automatic differential cutoff extrapolation is introduced to assess the cutoff dependence of all results, thus ensuring their reliability and potentially improving fixed-cutoff results by an order of magnitude. The efficient differential study of PDF uncertainties and PDF set differences at NNLO, for multiple PDF sets simultaneously, is achieved by exploiting correlations. We use these improvements to study uncertainties and PDF sensitivity at NNLO, using 371 PDF set members. The work described here permits NNLO studies that were previously prohibitively expensive, and lays the groundwork necessary for a future implementation of NNLO calculations with a jet at Born level in MCFM.

Measurement of differential $t$-channel single top (anti)quark production cross-sections at 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
First separate differential tq and tbarq t-channel single-top cross-sections at 13 TeV, using the full ATLAS Run 2 sample, agree with NLO/NNLO QCD and set −0.12 < C_Qq^{3,1}/Λ² < 0.12 TeV⁻² at 95% CL.

Constraining non-commutative geometry with W/Z+jet production at the LHC
Non-commutative spacetime corrections to W/Z+jet production appear at first order in Θ, and ATLAS Z+jet data constrain the non-commutative scale to Λ ≳ 2 TeV.

Probing SU(2) Quark Flavor Asymmetry with W Bosons at RHIC
The STAR W+/W- lepton pseudorapidity ratio is nearly insensitive to QCD recoil veto effects and resummation, making it a usable probe of the proton's dbar/ubar asymmetry near x=0.1.

Measurement of the $W$-boson production cross-sections in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV in the forward region
LHCb measures forward W+ and W- production cross-sections of 1754.2 pb and 1178.1 pb at 13 TeV, agreeing with NNLO QCD predictions at higher precision than prior results.

Probing SU(2) Quark Flavor Asymmetry with W Bosons at RHIC
The STAR W+/W- cross section ratio is minimally affected by fiducial constraints and pT resummation, providing robust discrimination between ar d(x) and ar u(x) PDF models at x ~ 0.1 via L2 sensitivity and reweighting.
