The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.8 fb(-1) recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. These results provide important constraints on the parton distribution functions of the proton in the range of the Bjorken scaling variable x from 10(-3) to 10(-1).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess3-LOOP SPLITTING FUNCTIONSPARTON DISTRIBUTIONSQCDSCATTERINGDENSITIESEVOLUTIONArticle10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4293-428303084Q1WOS:000382135100001
