Description

We provide an update of the MSHT parton distribution functions. We concentrate
on the impact of both new data sets and an improved theoretical and
statistical analysis for PDFs at high x values, including an investigation
of higher twist contributions. We also consider the potential impact of
Electron Ion Collider DIS data on PDFs, and in particular on the extraction
of the strong coupling constant, focussing on uncertainties from theoretical
sources. We also consider the impact of additional new data sets from the LHC.
