Monte Carlo sampling variant of the DSSV14 set of helicity parton densities
Monte Carlo sampling variant of the DSSV14 set of helicity parton densities
We implement a Monte Carlo sampling strategy to extract helicity parton densities and their uncertainties from a reference set of longitudinally polarized scattering data, chosen to be that used in the DSSV14 global analysis. Instead of adopting the simplest possible functional forms for the helicity parton distributions and imposing certain …
