Description

Abstract: The studies of the Parton distribution function (PDFs) open a new way to a better understanding of the partonic quark-gluon structure of the nucleon. In the QCD study of high-energy processes, PDFs are essential. We study a few PDF sets with various Q2 ranges and momentum fraction x. All PDFs’ numerical values have been taken from the LHAPDF library, a user-friendly interface to PDF sets. In our current study, we compare the PDF sets and plots using APFEL.
Keywords: QCD, PDFs, Momentum fraction x.
