Factorisation Schemes for Proton PDFs
Abstract
Beyond leading order, perturbative QCD calculations require the choice of a factorisation scheme to define the coefficient functions and parton distribution functions. Through the years, a number of different schemes were proposed, with different motivations and purposes. We present the first-ever comparison of these factorisation schemes on a common basis. We compare their features, both at the analytical and numerical level, and assess the impact of this choice on phenomenology at the LHC. Abstract Published by the Jagiellonian University 2026 authors
