  1. 73. The nCTEQ PDF determinations and LHC nuclear scattering data
    Dr Timothy Hobbs (Southern Methodist University)
    4/10/19, 2:00 PM
    invited talk
    Recent nuclear scattering data from the LHC contain a wealth of information providing important constraints on our knowledge of both nuclear and proton parton distribution functions (PDFs). In this talk, I present the nCTEQ nPDFs (which are now based upon a substantially upgraded code, nCTEQ++) to illustrate this point with a special focus on the ability of $W^\pm/Z$ boson production to help...

  2. 69. Hadronic physics with the inelasticity of high-energy neutrino interactions in IceCube
    Dr Gary Binder (LBNL)
    4/10/19, 2:25 PM
    invited talk
    In addition to its role in high-energy astrophysics, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a laboratory to study neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering at multi-TeV energies far beyond the reach of accelerators. A recent analysis of contained neutrino interactions in IceCube will be presented where the inelasticity of charged-current $\nu_{\mu}$ interactions (the fraction of neutrino energy...

  3. 46. A Monte Carlo analysis of nuclear PDFs with neural networks
    Jacob Ethier (Vrije Universiteit / Nikhef)
    4/10/19, 2:50 PM
    invited talk
    While tremendous effort has been made to determine the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of a free proton, less is known about their modification in nuclei. Such information is vital for our understanding of parton dynamics, since it can provide valuable insight into nuclear effects that are not well understood. In this talk, I present nNNPDF1.0, the first analysis of nuclear PDFs from the...

  4. 67. Novel Features of Nuclear Parton Distributions
    Prof. Stanley Brodsky (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford Univsersity)
    4/10/19, 3:15 PM
    invited talk
    One of the most interesting aspects of neutrino-nucleus DIS measurements is the apparent absence of antishadowing of the nuclear parton distributions, in direct contradiction to electron-nucleus and muon-nucleus measurements. This has several implications: (1) anti-shadowing may be flavor specific. This can be tested in semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton scattering. (2) antishadowing...
