There have been recent updates to the three global PDF fits (CT, MSHT and NNPDF), all adding large amounts of data from the LHC, and this has resulted in significant changes to the global PDFs. Given the impact that the new PDFs will have on physics comparisons at the LHC, it is crucial to perform a benchmarking among the PDFs, similar in spirit to that which was carried out for PDF4LHC15, widely used for LHC physics. In this article we detail a benchmarking comparison of three global PDF sets - CT18, MSHT20 and NNPDF3.1 - and their similarities and differences that have been observed. The end result of this study will be a new PDF4LHC21 ensemble of combined PDFs suitable for a wide range of LHC applications.

  1. QED-enhanced PDF implications for the Higgs sector

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Modern LUX-based photon PDFs in CT, MSHT and NNPDF produce consistent QED corrections to Higgs production, with a residual 3-4% spread dominated by baseline QCD PDF differences.
