A new generation of parton distribution functions with increased precision and quantitative estimates of uncertainties is presented. This work significantly extends previous CTEQ and other global analyses on two fronts: (i) a full treatment of available experimental correlated systematic errors for both new and old data sets; (ii) a systematic and pragmatic treatment of uncertainties of the parton distributions and their physical predictions, using a recently developed eigenvector-basis approach to the Hessian method. The new gluon distribution is considerably harder than that of previous standard fits. A number of physics issues, particularly relating to the behavior of the gluon distribution, are addressed in more quantitative terms than before. Extensive results on the uncertainties of parton distributions at various scales, and on parton luminosity functions at the Tevatron RunII and the LHC, are presented. The latter provide the means to quickly estimate the uncertainties of a wide range of physical processes at these high-energy hadron colliders, based on current knowledge of the parton distributions. In particular, the uncertainties on the production cross sections of the $W,Z$ at the Tevatron and the LHC are estimated to be $\pm 4%$ and $\pm 5%$ respectively, and that of a light Higgs at the LHC to be $\pm 5%$.

  1. Search for $\textit{tH}$ production in the $ H \to \tau\tau$ decay mode, and a combination with other searches, using $\textit{pp}$ collisions at 13 TeV and 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    ATLAS's combined tH search, including a new H→ττ channel, measures μ_tH = 3.3 ± 1.6 times the SM, with 2.3σ observed significance and an observed 95% CL limit of 6.1×SM.

  2. Simultaneous extraction of top quark mass, strong coupling, effective mixing angle, and proton PDFs using inclusive DIS and proton-proton collision data

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A single xFitter global fit extracts PDFs, alpha_s(mZ), top pole mass, and sin^2 theta_eff simultaneously at NNLO, with NLO NRQCD threshold corrections, yielding m_t=172.59 GeV, alpha_s=0.1179, sin^2 theta_eff=0.23142.

  3. Cross-section measurements of boosted Higgs boson production in final states with pairs of hadronically decaying $\tau$-leptons with the ATLAS experiment

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    ATLAS reports the first boosted H→ττ cross-section measurements for Higgs pT > 300 GeV, with an observed (expected) significance of 3.8 (3.3) standard deviations, consistent with the Standard Model.

  4. Impact of Z-boson transverse-momentum resummation on PDF determination

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    N3LL' resummation is required to reconcile the 13 TeV ATLAS Z-pT spectrum with global PDF fits, but lowering the pT cut below 30 GeV is not yet supported.

  5. Search for soft unclustered energy patterns containing muons in the final state in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    No significant excess observed in search for SUEP signatures with muons; exclusion limits set on mediator cross section times branching fraction down to 0.05 fb at 750 GeV.

  6. Search for higgsinos in compressed mass spectra using low-momentum tracks in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2025-11 accept novelty 6.0

    No excess over the Standard Model is observed; ATLAS excludes chargino masses below 126 GeV at 95% CL for mass splittings of 0.3–2 GeV in a simplified higgsino model.

  7. Measurement of $J/\psi$-jet correlations in $pp$ and Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    New measurements of isolated, non-isolated, and inclusive J/ψ yields, nuclear modification factors, and fractions up to 60 GeV in pp and Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV.

  8. Prompt ${J/\psi}$-pair production at the LHC: impact of loop-induced contributions and of the colour-octet mechanism

    hep-ph 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Loop-induced CS and selected CO SPS contributions to prompt J/ψ pairs are too small or kinematically limited to account for LHC data or affect DPS control regions.

    hep-ex 2026-04 accept novelty 4.0

    No significant excess of high-mass lepton+jet events is observed in 164 fb^{-1} of 13.6 TeV pp collisions, setting 95% CL upper limits on quantum black hole production cross-section times branching ratio that reach a ...

  10. Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions at Neutrino Experiments and Colliders

    hep-ph 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Collider searches are generally more constraining than neutrino measurements on simplified models of non-standard neutrino interactions, except possibly for muon-philic leptoquarks and certain heavy neutral leptons.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    NLO corrections add roughly 15% to the differential cross-section of qg → qγ at high energies in pp collisions at NICA, with polarization effects larger at NLO than at LO.

  12. Global analyses of helicity-dependent parton distribution functions

    Modern global QCD analyses agree that up-quark helicity is positive and down-quark helicity negative, with positive gluon polarisation at moderate x, while the full gluon spin moment remains limited by the unmeasured ...
