Recent constraints on the parton distributions in the proton and the measurement of $\alpha_S$ from ATLAS and CMS

Abstract

Recent results on cross sections sensitive to the parton distribution functions (PDFs) within the proton from the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations are presented. The potential impact on the inclusion of these data in fits to the PDFs is discussed. Recent results from fits including the data from jet, or vector boson production from the ATLAS and CMS experiments are discussed.Comment: On behalf of the ATLAS and CMS collaborations.
