Title: Standard Model Parton Distributions at Very High Energies
Date (JST): Wed, Apr 19, 2017, 13:30 - 14:30
Place: Seminar Room A
Abstract: We compute the leading-order evolution of parton distribution functions for all the Standard Model fermions and bosons up to energy scales far above the electroweak scale, where electroweak symmetry is restored. Our results include the 52 PDFs of the unpolarized proton, evolving according to the SU(3), SU(2), U(1), mixed SU(2)xU(1) and Yukawa interactions. We illustrate the numerical effects on parton distributions at high energies, and show that they can lead to important corrections to parton luminosities at a future 100 TeV hadron collider.
