Description

Recent developments of the xFitter PDF analysis package and studies based on it are summarised. The emphasis is given to the PDF analysis of the Z boson polarisation data which provide additional constraint to the gluon distribution for Bjorken x below 0.1. Studies using pseudo data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of the LHC Run 3 and high-luminosity HL-LHC show that the PDF uncertainty of the Higgs boson production cross section can be reduced significantly.
