Towards the NNPDF3.0 parton set for the second LHC run

Understand

The full exploitation of the increasingly precise LHC measurements is essential in order to reduce the uncertainty of theoretical predictions at hadron colliders.

• The NNPDF2.3 fit was the first PDF determination including the effect of the early LHC data.
• Here the new NNPDF3.0 PDF set is announced and its main features are presented.
• The novel NNPDF analysis is based on an improved fitting methodology, statistically validated by closure tests.
