Pith's one-line read The inclusion of the latest LHC inclusive jet measurements in the CT18 global PDF analysis reduces gluon uncertainties and pushes the large-x gluon harder, and the paper argues inclusive jet data should be preferred over dijet data…
desk verdict A careful, useful impact study of new LHC jet data on CT18, with the right caveat: the headline gluon shift rests on ePump profiling rather than a full refit, so treat CT18+nIncJet as provisional even though the direction is consistent with MSHT and NNPDF. read the letter →
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
The study is carried by a three-part apparatus. Precomputed NNLO interpolation grids supply the jet cross-section predictions, with renormalization/factorization scales $p_T^{\mathrm{jet}}$ or $\hat H_T$ for inclusive jets and $m_{12}$ or $p_{T,1}e^{0.3y^*}$ for dijets; the ePump Hessian profiling procedure then approximates how each new dataset shifts the best-fit PDFs and their Hessian error bands without a full refit; and the L2 sensitivity quantifies, at each $x$, how strongly each experimental dataset pulls the gluon PDF. The scale-dependence comparison is the argument's decisive test: it is what separates 'safe' inclusive jet data from 'risky' dijet data, particularly the 8 TeV dijet measurement.
What would settle it
Run a full CT18 global fit that includes the same three inclusive jet datasets, using the same smoothing and Monte Carlo integration-error treatment, and compare the large-$x$ gluon PDF with CT18+nIncJet. If the full fit's central gluon at $x\approx 0.3$ falls outside the reduced uncertainty band claimed here, the ePump approximation is not reproducing the global fit and the paper's quantitative claims would not survive.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The paper's central claim is that the latest inclusive jet data from the LHC, once included in the CT18 analysis through a fast Hessian profiling update, reduce the gluon PDF uncertainty and move the central gluon distribution upward for $x\gtrsim 0.1$, producing a new set called CT18+nIncJet. A second, distinct claim is that inclusive jet data should be preferred over dijet data for constraining the gluon at this stage: the inclusive jet predictions are insensitive to the choice and variation of the central renormalization and factorization scales, whereas dijet predictions, most notably the 8 TeV dijet data, show a strong scale dependence that can change the central gluon by several percent. The paper also shows that inclusive jet datasets pull the gluon PDF more strongly than the dijet datasets from the same collisions, and that the new set raises the gluon-gluon luminosity at large invariant masses, increasing high-mass Higgs-like scalar, top-pair, and $t\bar{t}H$ cross sections at 14 TeV while slightly lowering the inclusive 125 GeV Higgs cross section.
Load-bearing premise
Everything rests on the fast Hessian-profiling update reproducing what a full CT18 global refit with the same datasets would produce, since all of the paper's new PDFs, uncertainties, and sensitivity plots come from that approximate update and no direct full-refit comparison is shown.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- The gluon PDF uncertainty shrinks, with the largest reduction at large $x$, and the central gluon becomes harder.
- The gluon-gluon luminosity $L_{gg}$ is enhanced at large invariant masses with narrower error bands.
- Higgs-like scalar production at masses above roughly 1 TeV increases, while the inclusive 125 GeV Higgs cross section decreases slightly.
- Top-pair and $t\bar tH$ cross sections at 14 TeV increase mildly, reflecting their positive correlation with the large-$x$ gluon.
- Inclusive jet data are preferred over dijet data for future PDF fits, and dijet data, particularly the 8 TeV dijet set, require further theoretical work on scale dependence before inclusion.
Reading between the lines
- If a future full refit confirms the harder high-$x$ gluon, the same shift should appear in gluon-dominated observables not refit here, such as high-$p_T$ photon-plus-jet production; a consistent shift there would be an independent check.
- The paper's preference for inclusive jets is based on scale dependence, not fit quality, since several dijet datasets fit better. A reader should therefore expect future PDF releases to omit dijets until their scale ambiguity is resolved; a triple-differential dijet measurement with scale behavior similar to inclusive jets would be the natural test.
- Because the numerical size of the uncertainty reduction rests on the ePump approximation, the quoted error bands of CT18+nIncJet should be treated as provisional until a full refit validates them.
Editorial analysis
A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. The paper assesses the impact of recent LHC inclusive jet and dijet measurements on the CTEQ-TEA (CT18) global PDF analysis. The authors introduce an intermediate baseline, CT18mLHCJet, apply the ePump Hessian-profiling package to add new ATLAS and CMS jet datasets, and systematically examine decorrelation options for ATLAS systematic uncertainties, five treatments of NNLO theory uncertainties and K-factor smoothing, and two central scale choices with factor-of-two variations. They conclude that inclusive jet data have weaker scale dependence than dijet data, impose stronger constraints on the gluon PDF, and prefer a harder large-x gluon; this leads to the proposed CT18+nIncJet PDF set with reduced gluon uncertainties. The phenomenological section computes gluon-gluon luminosities and 14 TeV cross-sections for Higgs, top-quark pair, and ttH production using the updated PDFs.
Significance. If the ePump-based updating is a faithful proxy for a full global refit, the paper is a useful and timely impact study: it is transparent about the many methodological choices, compares with MSHT and NNPDF where data overlap, and provides detailed robustness checks across theory treatments, scales, and decorrelation options. The main findings—that new inclusive jet data pull the large-x gluon harder and reduce its uncertainty—are qualitatively consistent with other groups and are likely to inform the upcoming CTEQ-TEA global fit. However, since the central CT18+nIncJet set is produced by approximate Hessian profiling rather than a full CT18 refit, the quantitative claims of a gluon shift and uncertainty reduction remain provisional until validated against a complete refit.
major comments (4)
- [Sec. III, first paragraph] The central result, CT18+nIncJet, is obtained with the ePump Hessian-profiling package and not with a full CT18 global refit. In Sec. III A the authors write 'we performed PDF fit using ePump', and in Sec. V they describe ePump as a step taken 'before conducting time-intensive global fittings'. ePump reuses the baseline Hessian error sets and applies a profiling chi-square; it is an approximation that can differ from a new global minimization in which PDF parameters, tolerance, and correlations with all other datasets are refit. Because the headline claims are a shift of roughly 1-3% in the large-x gluon and a reduction in its error band, an unvalidated profiling bias of comparable size would change the conclusions. The authors should either provide a direct comparison of CT18+nIncJet with a full CT18 fit containing the same three inclusive jet datasets, or explicitly reframe the paper as an ePump-based impact study whose quantitative PDF set is provisional.
- [Sec. III B, Figs. 6-8] The construction of the baseline CT18mLHCJet set is not fully specified. The text says it 'uses the same framework as the CT18 analysis' but excludes the inclusive jet datasets already in CT18, without stating whether this baseline was produced by a full global refit or by an ePump-based removal of datasets. This distinction matters because every subsequent ePump update is performed relative to CT18mLHCJet; if the baseline is itself an ePump approximation, then the final PDFs inherit that approximation in a way that is not assessed. Please state explicitly how CT18mLHCJet was created and, if it was a full fit, give the relevant fit quality and parameter shifts.
- [Sec. II and Sec. III A] The preference for inclusive jet over dijet datasets is based on a qualitative comparison of PDF ratio plots and chi-square tables. For example, the text notes that for CMS8DiJet the central gluon PDF varies by roughly 4% at x ~ 0.3 under scale variations, while inclusive jet datasets vary by about 1-1.5%, but no quantitative criterion is given for declaring one set 'weakly scale dependent'. Since this preference is a central conclusion and also determines which datasets enter the final fit, the authors should define a quantitative measure of scale dependence (for instance, the maximum shift in g(x, Q = 100 GeV) over the fitted x-range under factor-of-two scale variations) and apply it uniformly to inclusive jet and dijet datasets.
- [Sec. IV B] Several methodological choices are made after inspecting the data and are selected on the basis of the resulting chi-square: the ATLAS decorrelation options (SuggestedR6 and Option18), the theory treatment (Method 5), and the central scale (pT^jet for the final fit). This multiple-comparison selection, performed on the very data used to define CT18+nIncJet, is not reflected in the reported PDF uncertainties. The authors show that the PDF central values and error bands are largely insensitive to these choices, which mitigates the concern, but the conclusion that the new data reduce the gluon uncertainty would be strengthened by a discussion of how much of the improvement is a selection effect rather than a stable constraint from the data.
minor comments (6)
- [Table I vs Table VII] The integrated luminosity for the CMS 13 TeV inclusive jet dataset is listed as 33.5 fb^-1 in Table I but 36.5 fb^-1 in Table VII; these should be reconciled.
- [Fig. 8 caption] The caption of Fig. 8 reads 'Same as Fig. 8, but for CMS8DiJet...'; it should refer to Fig. 7 (or to Fig. 6, depending on intent).
- [Fig. 12 and Sec. IV A] The experiment labels such as 'ATLAS8ZpT' and 'CMS8ttb' are introduced without definition; a short expansion or a pointer to the table of dataset IDs would improve readability.
- [Sec. IV B] The scale choice for ttH production is given as 'MT/2' without defining MT; please define it as the scalar sum of transverse masses of the final-state particles.
- [Appendix A 1] In the sentence 'In contrast, the ATLAS data at 13 TeV and 8 TeV show less significant deviations compared to the baseline', it would be clearer to list all datasets in the same order as the preceding ranking and to specify the x value at which the comparison is made.
- [Sec. IV B] The cross-sections in Fig. 15 and Fig. 16 are applications of the fitted PDFs rather than independent predictions; the text should state this explicitly so that readers do not interpret them as a posteriori validation of CT18+nIncJet.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the CT18+nIncJet results are data-driven fit outputs, transparently based on ePump profiling, with independent cross-checks against MSHT and NNPDF.
full rationale
The paper's central derivation is not circular. The CT18 baseline PDFs, the new LHC inclusive jet and dijet measurements, and the NNLO APPLfast theory grids are all external inputs; the updated CT18+nIncJet PDFs are obtained by ePump Hessian profiling of those new data, and the paper explicitly labels this as a fast profiling step 'before conducting time-intensive global fittings' (Sec. V). The reported harder large-x gluon and reduced uncertainty bands are fit results, not predictions that are equivalent to the inputs by construction. The paper also provides independent cross-checks by comparing chi-square values and PDF impacts with the MSHT and NNPDF analyses (Table VII, Sec. IV), which supports the robustness of the conclusions. The phenomenological implications for Higgs, ttbar, and ttH production are explicitly framed as 'implications' of the fitted PDFs rather than as independent tests of them, so they do not constitute a circular validation. The reliance on the self-cited ePump method, Refs. [48,49], is load-bearing in a practical sense, but ePump is a published and externally used updating procedure with stated assumptions; the lack of a full CT18 refit with the same data is an approximation and validation limitation, not a circularity. No equation in the paper reduces a target result to a fitted parameter or to a self-citation chain.

abstract
In this study, we investigate the impact of new LHC inclusive jet and dijet measurements on parton distribution functions (PDFs) that describe the proton structure, with a particular focus on the gluon distribution at large momentum fraction, $x$, and the corresponding partonic luminosities. We assess constraints from these datasets using next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) theoretical predictions, accounting for a range of uncertainties from scale dependence and numerical integration. From the scale choices available for the calculations, our analysis shows that the central predictions for inclusive jet production show a smaller scale dependence than dijet production. We examine the relative constraints on the gluon distribution provided by the inclusive jet and dijet distributions and also explore the phenomenological implications for inclusive $H$, $t\bar{t}$, and $t\bar{t}H$ production at the LHC at 14 TeV.
