Description
We present a a software package, ePump (error PDF Updating Method Package), that can be used to update or optimize a set of PDFs, including the best-fit and Hessian eigenvector pairs of PDF sets, and also to update any other set of observables, in the Hessian approach. After validating the program with a comparison against a full global analysis, we use ePump to estimate the impact of several recent LHC data, including measurements of W and Z boson and top quark pair differential distributions, on the CT14HERA2 PDFs.
