Abstract: (APS)
We study the impact of lattice data on the determination of the strangeness asymmetry distribution s-(x)s(x)-s¯(x) in the general CTEQ-TEA global analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton. Firstly, we find that allowing a nonvanishing s-(x), at the initial Q0=1.3GeV scale, in a global PDF analysis leads to a CT18As fit with similar quality to CT18A. Secondly, including the lattice data in the CT18As_Lat fit greatly reduces the s--PDF error band size in the large-x region. To further reduce its error would require more precise lattice data, extended to smaller x values. We take ATLAS 7 TeV W and Z production data, SIDIS dimuon production data, F3 structure function data, E866 NuSea data, and E906 SeaQuest data as examples to illustrate the implication of CT18As and CT18As_Lat fits. The parametrization dependence for PDF ratio (s+s¯)/(u¯+d¯)(x) is analyzed with CT18As2 and CT18As2_Lat fits as results.
