abstract
We present updated leading-order, next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order parton distribution functions ("MSTW 2008") determined from global analysis of hard-scattering data within the standard framework of leading-twist fixed-order collinear factorisation in the MSbar scheme. These parton distributions supersede the previously available "MRST" sets and should be used for the first LHC data-taking and for the associated theoretical calculations. New data sets fitted include CCFR/NuTeV dimuon cross sections, which constrain the strange quark and antiquark distributions, and Tevatron Run II data on inclusive jet production, the lepton charge asymmetry from W decays and the Z rapidity distribution. Uncertainties are propagated from the experimental errors on the fitted data points using a new dynamic procedure for each eigenvector of the covariance matrix. We discuss the major changes compared to previous MRST fits, briefly compare to parton distributions obtained by other fitting groups, and give predictions for the W and Z total cross sections at the Tevatron and LHC.

First measurement of inclusive jet A_LL at √s=510 GeV in polarized pp collisions at STAR, found consistent with global polarized PDF analyses and prior 200 GeV data.
MadGraph5_aMC@NLO automates tree-level, NLO, shower-matched, and merged cross-section computations for collider processes in a unified flexible framework.
No statistically significant excess is observed in the search for Higgs decays to two neutral scalars with unequal masses, setting 95% CL upper limits between 0.9 and 36.8 pb depending on mass and decay scenario.

NLO hard function in TMD factorization for quarkonium electroproduction with predictions for unpolarized J/ψ cross section at EIC.
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 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 thesis presents a new 3-to-2 freezeout mechanism, bound-state effects on searches, a new axion interferometric search, reionization assessments, 21-cm constraints, and the DarkHistory code for ionization and thermal histories.
Relating two GNI parametrizations shows scalar neutrino-quark interactions are more tightly constrained by COHERENT while tensor interactions are better bounded by deep inelastic scattering.
Applies the WW-type approximation to relate TMDs and FFs and approximate the complete SIDIS cross-section up to power-suppressed terms.
Helicity structure functions in Drell-Yan are analyzed in the Parton Reggeization Approach with gauge-invariant inclusion of initial-state transverse momentum, clarifying relations to the TMD Parton Model.
A singlet scalar leptoquark in the 331LHN model can fully account for the muon anomalous magnetic moment discrepancy with mass above 1.8 TeV (or 6 TeV using 2025 data) while obeying LFV constraints and showing suppressed LHC signals.
Hidden BSM decays of vector-like bottom quarks in 2HDM-II relax LHC mass limits from ~1.5 TeV to 1.34 TeV for singlets and 0.98 TeV for doublets.
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.
Models initial-state energy loss, nuclear shadowing, and final-state absorption on J/ψ and ψ(2S) production in p+A collisions, compares to SPS/Fermilab/HERA-B data, and extrapolates absorption levels for NA60+ and CBM.
