A dataset representing the space of parton distribution function fit, each point in the variables labelled X1-X56 indicate moving +- 1 standard devation from the 'best' (maximum likelihood estimate) fit of the function. Each observation has all predictions of the corresponding measurement from an experiment.

Usage

pdfsense

Format

An object of class data.frame with 2808 rows and 62 columns.

Details

(see table 3 in that paper for more explicit details).

The remaining columns are:

  • InFit: A flag indicating whether an observation entered the fit of CT14HERA2 parton distribution function

  • Type: First number of ID

  • ID: contains the identifier of experiment, 1XX/2XX/5XX correpsonds to Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) / Vector Boson Production (VBP) / Strong Interaction (JET). Every ID points to an experimental paper.

  • pt: the per experiment observational id

  • x,mu: the kinematics of a parton. x is the parton momentum fraction, and mu is the factorisation scale.
