The PDF4LHC Working Group Interim Recommendations
Abstract
This note provides an interim summary of the current recommendations of
the PDF4LHC working group for the use of parton distribution functions
(PDFs) and of PDF uncertainties at the LHC, for cross section and cross
section uncertainty calculations. It also contains a succinct user guide
to the computation of PDF uncertainties and correlations using available
PDF sets.
A companion note (the PDF4LHC Working Group Interim Report) summarizes
predictions for benchmark cross sections at the LHC (7 TeV) at NLO using
modern PDFs currently available from 6 PDF fitting groups.
