Description

We present an update of the MSHT20 approximate N^3LO PDFs. This is based on
the inclusion of updated estimates of the N^3LO splitting functions and their
uncertanties, the final calculation of transition matrix elements and other
correponding theoretical improvements to the hard cross sections, particularly
for DIS data. We consider the impacts of the update on phenomeology at the LHC.
