A stress test of global PDF fits: closure testing the MSHT PDFs and a first direct comparison to the neural net approach

Abstract We present a first global closure test of the fixed parameterisation (MSHT) approach to PDF fitting. We find that the default MSHT20 parameterisation can reproduce the features of the input set in such a closure test to well within the textbook uncertainties. This provides strong evidence t...
