Inclusion of Parton Distribution Functions in PYTHIA8
(2010) FYTM01 20092Theoretical Particle Physics - Undergoing reorganization
- Abstract
- A selection of the latest and most frequently used PDFs is incorporated in Pythia8, including the MC-adapted PDFs from the MSTW and CTEQ collaborations. This thesis examines the differences in PDFs as well as the effect they have on results of simulations. The results are also compared to data collected by the CDF experiment.
