I present analytic results for the scale evolution of the ten lowest moments of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) through four loops in QCD. I discuss the evolution of the PDFs to approximate N33LO accuracy, which is obtained by combining input from the computed moments and from physical constraints. The contribution to the scale evolution of the PDFs of the approximate N3LO corrections is of the order of $1\%$ or less for $x\gtrsim10^{−4}$. The uncertainty of the approximations is estimated below $1\%$ for$ x\gtrsim10^{−4}$, thus they are relevant for precision phenomenology at the LHC.

Abstract
I present analytic results for the scale evolution of the ten lowest moments of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) through four loops in QCD. I discuss the evolution of the PDFs to approximate N33LO accuracy, which is obtained by combining input from the computed moments and from physical constraints. The contribution to the scale evolution of the PDFs of the approximate N3LO corrections is of the order of $1\%$ or less for $x\gtrsim10^{−4}$. The uncertainty of the approximations is estimated below $1\%$ for$ x\gtrsim10^{−4}$, thus they are relevant for precision phenomenology at the LHC.File in questo prodotto:
