Description
As we strive for higher precision QCD predictions, a detailed knowledge of the nuclear PDFs is critical. The nCTEQ collaboration has recently examined LHC W/Z production data in heavy ion collisions, as well as JLab DIS data on a range of nuclear targets. Both these sets strongly influence the resulting nPDFs, and these advances are reflected in the recent nCTEQ PDF releases. This data yields improved PDF constraints, and may provide insights as to the optimal means to organize the QCD expansion in an expanded kinematic range.
