Description
In this talk we will summarise the latest updates to PDF fits using the MSHT
approach. This will include details of high-x PDF sensitivity to jet/dijet
data, Z boson transverse distributions and high x data providing information
on quark flavours. We will also discuss the most recent determinations of
the strong coupling constant at both NNLO and N^3LO in perturbation theory.
We will summarise the inclusion of QED corrections and the photon PDF into
the approximate N^3LO framework. Finally, we will mention progress involving
improvements to the approximate N^3LO PDF analysis.
