An investigation of the $$\alpha _S$$ α S and heavy quark mass dependence in the MSHT20 global PDF analysis
Abstract We investigate the MSHT20 global PDF sets, demonstrating the effects of varying the strong coupling $$\alpha _S(M_Z^2)$$ α S ( M Z 2 ) and the masses of the charm and bottom quarks. We determine the preferred value, and accompanying uncertainties, when we allow $$\alpha _S(M_Z^2)$$ α S ( M...
