We present a model-independent determination of the nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) using machine learning methods and Monte Carlo techniques based on the NNPDF framework. The neutral-current deep-inelastic nuclear structure functions used in our previous analysis, nNNPDF1.0, are complemented by inclusive and charm-tagged cross-sections from charged-current scattering. Furthermore, we include all available measurements of W and Z leptonic rapidity distributions in proton-lead collisions from ATLAS and CMS at $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ TeV and 8.16 TeV. The resulting nPDF determination, nNNPDF2.0, achieves a good description of all datasets. In addition to quantifying the nuclear modifications affecting individual quarks and antiquarks, we examine the implications for strangeness, assess the role that the momentum and valence sum rules play in nPDF extractions, and present predictions for representative phenomenological applications. Our results, made available via the LHAPDF library, highlight the potential of high-energy collider measurements to probe nuclear dynamics in a robust manner.

  1. Polarization interference in exclusive $V+$jets at all orders in $\alpha_s$

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Polarization interference in γ*→ℓ+ℓ− vanishes after lepton integration in exclusive V+jets at all α_s orders, with softened cancellations for W/Z due to parity violation and a formula for fiducial cuts.

  2. Determination of Fragmentation Functions from Charge Asymmetries in Hadron Production

    hep-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Non-singlet fragmentation functions of pions and kaons are determined at NNLO QCD from charge asymmetry measurements in e+e- annihilation and SIDIS, yielding a scaling index of 0.7 and strangeness suppression of 0.5.

  3. Dijet invariant mass of charged-particle jets in pp and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV

    nucl-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The first measurement of charged-particle dijet invariant mass spectra shows no significant nuclear modification in p-Pb collisions at low masses.

  4. Nuclear Cold QCD: Review and Future Strategy

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Review summarizing observed cold nuclear matter modifications in hadron-nucleus collision data and proposing experimental strategies for the EIC to clarify underlying QCD mechanisms.
