Parton Distribution Functions for Discovery at Next Generation Colliders
By 2030 the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider and the Electron Ion Collider may record their first events. These are only two of several facilities around the world that will allow physicists to investigate the structure of the proton with unprecedented precision and unveil various, yet unexplored, aspects of the underlying laws of Nature. I will discuss the role played by Parton Distribution Functions and their determination in this endeavour. I will focus on the theoretical and methodological challenges that ought to be addressed to meet the needs of accuracy and precision for discovery at future colliders.
