Dr hab. Aleksander Kusina (IFJ PAN): Nuclear Parton Distributions

Friday Nov 6, 2020, 10:15 AM → 11:00 AM Europe/Warsaw

Abstract:

Parton distributions of nucleons bound in the nucleus can be significantly modified compared to the distributions of the free nucleons. These modifications, commonly referred to as the nuclear corrections, are important for doing precise measurements in heavy ion collisions, and global analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) allows for a systematic estimate of these effects.
In this presentation I outline the formalism used in the global analysis of nPDFs, and review available nPDFs giving special attention to the results from the nCTEQ group.
