Diffraction in e-p collisions (experiment/phenomenology/theory)
Updates of MMHT2014 global parton analysis. Discussion includes the determination of alpha_s, the heavy b,c quarks and their masses, inclusion of the combined HERA data and the impact of recent LHC data.

Diffraction in e-p collisions (experiment/phenomenology/theory)
An accurate knowledge of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDF) plays a critical role for the precision tests of the Standard Model (SM) and impact substantially the theory predictions of Beyond SM high mass production. We present the xFitter project (former HERAFitter) which provides a unique open-source software framework for the determination of the proton's PDFs and for the...

Diffraction in e-p collisions (experiment/phenomenology/theory)
We review the factorisation of deep inelastic processes with charm quarks, and the construction of variable-flavour-number schemes, both with and without an intrinsic charm PDF. Results are then presented of the latest NNPDF fits, both with and without intrinsic charm. The dependence of the PDFs on the charm mass is discussed.
