Impact of and constraints on PDFs at the LHC

Uncertainties on parton distribution functions (PDFs) compromise discovery at the LHC for any new physics which can be described as a contact-interaction. PDF uncertainties also limit our ability to use W and Z cross-sections as anaccurate luminosity monitor. The impact of the current level of PDF u...
