W AL Theory Curves

Code Running


Notes:

1 . First you need CERN libraries (STAR has it installed) if you are running in your local computer.
2 . You may also need to install "gfortran" in order to compile those libraries (at least I had to, If you have Xcode installed then you should be fine. But you should have the Xcode developer tools as well before installing  "gfortran")
3 . Compile the library using "make" and see if you get any errors.
4 . 
5 . Command to convert your output HBOOK files to Root "h2root hbookfileName  rootfileName"

New Curves

What curves we should include in final W AL plot ?

Set	Polarized PDF (NLO)	Unpolarized PDFs (NLO)	Framework	Naming ?
1	DSSV 2014	MSTW 2008	CHE NLO	DSSV14 / MSTW08  CHE NLO
2	NNPDFpol1.1	NNPDF2.3	CHE NLO	NNPDFpol1.1 /NNPDF2.3  CHE NLO
3	DSSV 2014	CTEQ 2014	CHE NLO	DSSV14 / CT14  CHE NLO
4	DSSV 2014*	CTEQ 2010	RHICBOS NLO	DSSV14 / CT10  RHICBOS NLO
5	BS 2015	BS 2015	CHE NLO	BS15 CHE NLO

Notes:
1) Do we need a NNPDF reweighting curve using 2013 data ? (There are certain concerns on the results shown at "arXiv:1702.05077v1" by E. R. Nocera using NNPDF reweighting procedure (Ref.1 ,  Ref.2 )
