Description

In this talk I will re-examine the definition of PDF errors within the MSHT framework. This is a key issue in light of LHC high precision requirements that must be addressed if we are to provide accurate as well as precise PDF determinations. I will in particular examine the role of the tolerance and the question of parameterisation flexibility and bias, and comment on the implications of this on LHC phenomenology.
