abstract
We investigate the impact of the high precision ATLAS and CMS 7 TeV measurements of inclusive jet production on the MMHT global PDF analysis at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). This is made possible by the recent completion of the long-term project to calculate the NNLO corrections to the hard cross section. We find that a good description of the ATLAS data is not possible with the default treatment of experimental systematic errors, and develop a simplified solution that retains the dominant physical information of the data. We then investigate the fit quality and the impact on the gluon PDF central value and uncertainty when the ATLAS and CMS data are included in a MMHT fit. We consider both common choices for the factorization and renormalization scale, namely the inclusive jet transverse momentum, $p_\perp$, and the leading jet $p_\perp$, as well as the different jet radii for which the ATLAS and CMS data are made available. We find that the impact of these data on the gluon is relatively insensitive to these inputs, in particular the scale choice, while the inclusion of NNLO corrections tends to improve the data description somewhat, and gives a qualitatively similar though not identical impact on the gluon in comparison to NLO.

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.
The paper reports incremental updates to MMHT PDFs with emphasis on strange quark extraction from improved NNLO cross sections, extended parameterization, and correlated uncertainty treatment.
