The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
Global QCD analysis at NLO and NNLO that combines Hessian error sets with Lagrange-multiplier scans to quantify each data set's pull on alpha_s, the gluon, and the strange quark.
What would settle it
A new measurement of the gluon-fusion Higgs cross section at the LHC that lies outside the CT18 uncertainty band while lying inside the CT14 band would falsify the improvement claimed for the updated distributions.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The central claim is that a global fit to a broad collection of high-precision LHC observables together with HERA and earlier data yields the CT18 parton distributions at NLO and NNLO; the fit employs the Hessian method for uncertainties and the Lagrange-multiplier method to map data preferences for alpha_s(m_Z), the gluon, and the strange distribution, while alternate sets (CT18A, CT18X, CT18Z) test the impact of the ATLAS W/Z tension, a revised low-x scale choice, and a higher charm mass.
Load-bearing premise
All chosen data sets remain statistically compatible inside a single perturbative QCD framework at NLO and NNLO.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- Standard-candle cross sections such as gluon-fusion Higgs production can now be evaluated with reduced PDF uncertainty.
- The gluon distribution receives tighter constraints at high momentum fraction from the new jet data.
- Users can choose among CT18, CT18A, CT18X and CT18Z to propagate the effect of the ATLAS W/Z tension into any observable.
- The strange-quark distribution is better determined in the region probed by W and Z production.
Reading between the lines
- Future global fits will have to decide whether the observed tension requires higher-order QCD corrections or signals a need to re-examine experimental systematics.
- The same data sets could be re-analyzed once NNLO jet calculations become available, potentially resolving part of the current tension.
- These PDFs provide a ready baseline for testing whether any new-physics signal appears in precision LHC measurements beyond the quoted uncertainties.

Referee Report
Summary. The manuscript presents the CT18 global QCD analysis of parton distribution functions at NLO and NNLO from the CTEQ-TEA collaboration. It incorporates the combined HERA I+II DIS data, legacy CT14 sets, and new high-precision LHC measurements of single-inclusive jets (full rapidity), Drell-Yan pairs, top-quark pairs, and high-p_T Z bosons. PDFs are determined via standard Hessian error sets, with Lagrange-multiplier scans used to quantify individual data-set preferences for α_s(m_Z), the gluon, and strange-quark distributions. The baseline CT18 excludes the ATLAS 7 TeV precision W/Z data owing to tension with the rest of the global data; alternate sets CT18A (includes ATLAS W/Z), CT18X (new low-x DIS scale choice), and CT18Z (higher charm mass) are supplied. Theoretical predictions for standard-candle LHC cross sections, including gg-fusion Higgs production, are given.
Significance. If the underlying fits prove robust, CT18 and its variants would supply an important update to global PDFs with enhanced LHC constraints, directly benefiting precision phenomenology at the LHC. The explicit provision of alternate fits to bracket data tensions and the use of Lagrange-multiplier techniques for parameter preferences are methodological strengths that increase the utility of the release.
major comments (2)
- [Abstract] Abstract: The decision to omit the ATLAS 7 TeV precision W/Z data from the baseline CT18 fit because of tension is load-bearing for the central claim that the selected data (HERA I+II, CT14 legacy, LHC jets/DY/ttbar/high-p_T Z) remain statistically compatible inside a single NLO/NNLO perturbative QCD framework. The manuscript must supply quantitative diagnostics—e.g., the Δχ² incurred by forcing inclusion of these data, or the per-observable pulls—to demonstrate that the tension is isolated rather than symptomatic of broader inconsistencies in normalization, higher-order corrections, or data treatment.
- [Results section] Results and fit-quality discussion (presumably §4–5): No global or per-experiment χ²/N_dof values, nor validation plots comparing data to theory for the included LHC sets, are referenced in the abstract or early summary. These standard metrics are required to substantiate that the retained data sets define a coherent solution and to allow readers to judge the impact of the omitted ATLAS W/Z measurements.
minor comments (2)
- A compact table summarizing the exact data sets retained from CT14 versus the new LHC measurements, together with their kinematic ranges and normalizations, would improve reproducibility and clarity.
- [Abstract] The acronyms CT18, CT18A, CT18X, and CT18Z should be defined explicitly on first appearance in the abstract and introduction.

Authors: We agree that explicit quantitative diagnostics strengthen the justification for excluding the ATLAS 7 TeV W/Z data from the baseline. The full manuscript already contains a detailed discussion of this tension in Section 5, including χ² comparisons when the data are forced into the fit and Lagrange-multiplier scans that isolate the effect to normalization and certain rapidity bins. We will revise the abstract to include a concise statement of the Δχ² increase and add a reference to the relevant section and figures showing per-observable pulls, making this information available at the outset without altering the central claims. revision: yes

Referee: [Results section] Results and fit-quality discussion (presumably §4–5): No global or per-experiment χ²/N_dof values, nor validation plots comparing data to theory for the included LHC sets, are referenced in the abstract or early summary. These standard metrics are required to substantiate that the retained data sets define a coherent solution and to allow readers to judge the impact of the omitted ATLAS W/Z measurements.
Authors: The global and per-experiment χ²/N_dof values are tabulated in Table 1 and discussed at length in Section 4, with validation plots for the LHC jet, Drell-Yan, top-pair, and high-p_T Z data sets appearing in Figures 4–8. These metrics confirm the overall coherence of the retained data. To address the referee’s concern about early visibility, we will add explicit references to Table 1 and the relevant figures in both the abstract and the opening paragraphs of the introduction in the revised manuscript. revision: yes
Circularity Check
No circularity: standard global PDF fit with transparent data handling
full rationale
The paper's derivation consists of a conventional global QCD analysis that minimizes a chi-squared objective over a combined dataset (HERA I+II, legacy CT14 sets, plus new LHC jet, Drell-Yan, ttbar, and high-pT Z measurements) to extract NLO and NNLO PDFs with Hessian uncertainties. Standard-candle cross sections such as gg-fusion Higgs production are computed directly from the resulting PDFs; this is the intended downstream application rather than an independent prediction, and the multi-experiment fit supplies external constraints that prevent reduction to a single fitted input. The explicit exclusion of ATLAS 7 TeV W/Z data due to observed tension, together with the provision of alternate sets (CT18A, CT18X, CT18Z), is documented rather than concealed. No self-definitional equations, fitted parameters renamed as predictions, or load-bearing self-citations that substitute for independent verification appear in the chain. The work is therefore self-contained against external benchmarks and receives a score of 0.

abstract
We present the new parton distribution functions (PDFs) from the CTEQ-TEA collaboration, obtained using a wide variety of high-precision Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data, in addition to the combined HERA I+II deep-inelastic scattering data set, along with the data sets present in the CT14 global QCD analysis. New LHC measurements in single-inclusive jet production with the full rapidity coverage, as well as production of Drell-Yan pairs, top-quark pairs, and high-$p_T$ $Z$ bosons, are included to achieve the greatest sensitivity to the PDFs. The parton distributions are determined at NLO and NNLO, with each of these PDFs accompanied by error sets determined using the Hessian method. Fast PDF survey techniques, based on the Hessian representation and the Lagrange Multiplier method, are used to quantify the preference of each data set to quantities such as $\alpha_s(m_Z)$, and the gluon and strange quark distributions. We designate the main resulting PDF set as CT18. The ATLAS 7 TeV precision $W/Z$ data are not included in CT18, due to their tension with other data sets in the global fit. Alternate PDF sets are generated including the ATLAS precision 7 TeV $W/Z$ data (CT18A), a new scale choice for low-$x$ DIS data (CT18X), or all of the above with a slightly higher choice for the charm mass (CT18Z). Theoretical calculations of standard candle cross sections at the LHC (such as the $gg$ fusion Higgs boson cross section) are presented.
