Impact of heavy-flavour production cross sections measured by the LHCb experiment on parton distribution functions at low x
The impact of recent measurements of heavy-flavour production in deep inelastic ep scattering and in pp collisions on parton distribution functions is studied in a QCD analysis in the fixed-flavour number scheme at next-to-leading order. Differential cross sections of charm- and beauty-hadron produc...
