Progress in Precison Nuclear PDFs:
ORAL
Abstract
Proper treatment of nuclear effects are essential to extract precison
Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) which characterize the nuclear
structure. Recent improvements and new data sets have enabled
significant advances of both nuclear corrections and flavor
differentiation. Specifically, recent JLab data probes the hi-x
region, semi-inclusive hadron production provides new constraints on
the gluon, and LHC electroweak processes are sensitive to the strange
quark. We review the current status of the nCTEQ distributions, and
consider the potential impact of future EIC data.
