nCTEQ Global Analysis of Nuclear PDFs - Preliminary Results

ORAL

Abstract



We discuss the preliminary results of our new global nuclear PDF analysis that combines a number of our previous improvements into one consistent framework with updates to the underlying theoretical treatment as well as the addition of new available data. In particular, the new global analysis will be the first to include neutrino DIS scattering data together with JLab high-𝑥 DIS data as well as new LHC p-Pb data from 𝑊/𝑍 and heavy quark production. These additions tie together previous dedicated studies and ultimately allow to improve the data-driven description of nuclear PDFs in new regions such as the gluon for very low-𝑥 or the nuclear strange quark PDF.
