New parton distributions for collider physics
read the original abstract
We extract new parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton by global analysis of hard scattering data in the general-mass framework of perturbative quantum chromodynamics. Our analysis includes new theoretical developments together with the most recent collider data from deep-inelastic scattering, vector boson production, and single-inclusive jet production. Due to the difficulty in fitting both the DO Run-II W lepton asymmetry data and some fixed-target DIS data, we present two families of PDFs, CT10 and CT10W, without and with these high-luminosity W lepton asymmetry data included in the global analysis. With both sets of PDFs, we study theoretical predictions and uncertainties for a diverse selection of processes at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

Accessing nucleon transversity with one-point energy correlators
The paper proposes that one-point energy correlators in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions access the nucleon's transversity distribution through a single-spin asymmetry with sin(φ_s - φ_n) angular depend...

Valence quark distribution of the pion inside a medium with finite baryon density: A Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model approach
The authors use the two-flavor NJL model to obtain medium-modified constituent quark masses and then compute the in-medium pion electromagnetic form factor, distribution amplitude, and parton distribution function via...

Measurement of the $W$-boson angular coefficients and transverse momentum in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
ATLAS reports the first measurement of the complete angular coefficients and pT-differential cross sections for W+ and W- bosons in full lepton phase space at 13 TeV, finding agreement with QCD predictions up to order α_S².

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

New CTEQ global analysis of quantum chromodynamics with high-precision data from the LHC
New CT18 PDFs at NLO and NNLO from global fit to HERA plus LHC jet, Drell-Yan, top-pair and Z data, with Hessian errors, Lagrange-multiplier studies, and alternate sets for data tensions and scale choices.

Search for Higgs boson exotic decays into Lorentz-boosted light bosons in the four-$\tau$ final state at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
Search for H->aa->4tau (4<m_a<15 GeV) with boosted di-tau reconstruction finds no excess and sets 95% CL upper limits of 0.03-0.10 on (sigma_H/sigma_SM)*BR(H->aa->4tau).

Redetermination of proton sea distributions
NNLO global fits to HERA and ATLAS data yield an asymmetric proton sea with ubar exceeding dbar at moderate x and a revised Gottfried sum rule value.
