NNLO PDFs driven by top-quark data by S. Alekhin, M. V. Garzelli, S.-O. Moch, O. Zenaiev

“…The gluon PDF at large x and the top-quark mass value derived from these data are well compatible with the previous ABMP16 results, but with significantly smaller uncertainties, reduced by up to a factor of two. At NNLO in QCD we obtain for the strong coupling the value $$\alpha _s^{(n_f=5)}(M_Z)= 0.1150 \pm 0.0009$$ α s ( n f = 5 ) ( M Z ) = 0.1150 ± 0.0009 and for the top-quark mass in the $${\overline{\text{ MS }}}$$ MS ¯ -scheme $$m_t(m_t) = 160.6 \pm 0.6$$ m t ( m t ) = 160.6 ± 0.6  GeV, corresponding to $$m_t^\textrm{pole} = 170.2 \pm 0.7$$ m t pole = 170.2 ± 0.7  GeV in the on-shell scheme. …”
