Nuclear uncertainties in the determination of proton PDFs

Abstract We show how theoretical uncertainties due to nuclear effects may be incorporated into global fits of proton parton distribution functions (PDFs) that include deep-inelastic scattering and Drell–Yan data on nuclear targets. We specifically consider the CHORUS, NuTeV and E605 data included in...
