Towards N3LO PDFs and their implications for Higgs production cross-sections
Abstract
We review the recently published PDF sets MSHT20xNNPDF40an3lo and MSHT20xNNPDF40an3loqed, which have been obtained by combining the approximate N3LO (aN3LO) sets of parton distributions (PDFs) from the MSHT20 and NNPDF4.0 series. We investigate the impact of the most recent results on N3LO splitting functions onto the two PDF sets. Finally, we demonstrate the impact of N3LO PDFs on the computation of Higgs production cross-sections at the LHC.
