FLORIAN LYONNET, SMU di Dallas:Searches for new physics will increasingly depend on identifying deviations from prccision Standard Model (SM) predictions. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) will nccessarily play a centrai rolc in this endeavor as it provides the framework for the parton model. However, as we move to higher orders and into extreme kinematic rcgions, we begin to sec the full complexities of the QCD theory. Recent theoretical developments improve our ability to analyze both proton and nuclear PDFs across the full kincmatic range. Thcse developments are incorporated into the new nCTEQ15 PDFs, and we review these deve1opments with respect to future measuremcnts, and idcntify areas where additional effort is required.
