The Impact

It is well known that the jet production data at LHC provide important constraints on the medium and large-[Formula: see text] gluon parton distribution function (PDF), as well as on the large-[Formula: see text] sea quarks. In this work, we study the impact of recent CMS measurements for the inclusive jet production at center-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]13 TeV on the PDFs and their uncertainties. To this aim, with use of the FastNLO and xFitter framework, we apply the parton distribution re-weighting procedure to study the impact of CMS data on two NLO modern CT14 and MMHT PDF sets. As a result, we found that the fit quality obtained using both of these PDF sets is very good. Moreover, the CMS data can impact both the central values and uncertainties of some PDFs especially at low and large [Formula: see text] regions. Overall, it is indicated that the CT14 PDFs compared with the MMHT ones are more affected. We emphasis that the inclusion of these data in a new global analysis of PDFs can improve the determination of the gluon and quark PDFs at both low and large [Formula: see text] regions.

The Impact

We perform a comparison of the impact of different intrinsic charm (IC) models, based on the prediction of the differential cross-sections of [Formula: see text]-boson and [Formula: see text]-jet production in [Formula: see text] collision. It is shown that regardless of choosing the model, considering nonperturbative intrinsic charm component increases the magnitude of the cross-section when the [Formula: see text] transverse momentum grows or at large rapidity [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]. Moreover, to evaluate the effect of different parton distribution functions (PDFs), we also compare the results of two PDF sets in prediction of production [Formula: see text]-jet in [Formula: see text] at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with taking into account the intrinsic charm contribution in the proton. It is shown that the various PDF sets give some difference in the description of the [Formula: see text]-jet cross-section.

First Time

Jet production at hadron colliders provides powerful constraints on the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton, in particular on the gluon PDF. Jet production can also be used to extract the QCD coupling [Formula: see text] and to test its running with the momentum transfer up to the TeV region. In this review, I summarize the information on PDFs and the strong coupling that has been provided by Run I LHC jet data. First of all, I discuss why jet production is directly sensitive to the gluon and quark PDFs at large-x, and then review the state-of-the-art perturbative calculations for jet production at hadron colliders and the corresponding fast calculations required for PDF fitting. Then I present the results of various recent studies on the impact on PDFs, in particular the gluon, that have been performed using as input jet measurements from ATLAS and CMS. I also review the available determinations of the strong coupling constant based on ATLAS and CMS jet data, with emphasis on the fact that LHC jet data provides, for the first time, a direct test of the [Formula: see text] running at the TeV scale. I conclude with a brief outlook on possible future developments.
