I discuss advances in the determination of strange, charm, and bottom quark parton distribution functions obtained in the CTEQ6.5 and CTEQ6.6 global analyses. These results affect electroweak precision observables and certain new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider. I focus, in particular, on high-energy implications of the consistent treatment of heavy-quark threshold effects in DIS in the general-mass factorization scheme; an independent parametrization for the strangeness PDF; and the possible presence of nonperturbative (intrinsic) charm.
We discuss the impact of the charm quark mass in the CTEQ NNLO global analysis of parton distribution functions of the proton. The $bar{rm MS}$ mass $m_c(m_c)$ of the charm quark is extracted in the S-ACOT-$chi$ heavy-quark factorization scheme at ${
We study the possibility of intrinsic (non-perturbative) charm in parton distribution functions (PDF) of the proton, within the context of the CT10 next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) global analysis. Three models for the intrinsic charm (IC) quark
Recently BESIII collaboration discovered a charged strange hidden-charm state $Z_{cs}$(3985) in the $D_s^-D^{*0} + D_s^{*-}D^{0}$ spectrum. A higher $Z_{cs}$ state coupling to $bar{D}_s^{*-}D^{*0}$ is expected by SU(3)-flavor symmetry, and their bott
An overview is given of recent progress on a variety of fronts in the global QCD analysis of the parton structure of the nucleon and its implication for collider phenomenology, carried out by various subgroups of the CTEQ collaboration.
We overview progress in the development of general-purpose CTEQ PDFs. The preprint is based on four talks presented by H.-L. Lai and P. Nadolsky at the 17th International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects (DIS 2009).
