Parton distributions

Downloading files

• The CJ15 next-to-leading order (NLO) PDFs can be obtained by downloading the CJpdf.f Fortran file and the CJ15 NLO error grids, together with an example program which calls the PDFs.
  
  
• A leading order (LO) CJ15 fit is also available, with the corresponding LO error grids.
  
  
• The grids from the earlier CJ12 NLO analysis are available, for the CJ12min, CJ12mid and CJ12max sets, although these have been superceded by the CJ15 PDFs.
  
  
• The CJ15 PDFs are also included in the newest LHAPDF distribution.

Notes

• The program gives PDFs in the range 10^-6 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 1.3 ≤ Q ≤ 10⁵ GeV. However, the region where the PDFs are directly constrained by data is 2 x 10^-5 < x < 0.9 and 1.3 < Q < 550 GeV.
  
  
• When using the PDFs, please refer to the following reference:
