This document is intended as a study of benchmark cross sections at the LHC (at 7 TeV) at NLO using modern parton distribution functions currently available from the 6 PDF fitting groups that have participated in this exercise. It also contains a succinct user guide to the computation of PDFs, uncertainties and correlations using available PDF sets. A companion note, also submitted to the archive, provides an interim summary of the current recommendations of the PDF4LHC working group for the use of parton distribution functions and of PDF uncertainties at the LHC, for cross section and cross section uncertainty calculations.

- Measurement of Higgs boson production and properties in the WW decay channel with leptonic final states (2013, background): “As a result of the analysis in that control sample, a factor of 1.5± 0.5 with respect to the predicted LO cross section is found.”
- Search for dark matter, extra dimensions, and unparticles in monojet events in proton–proton collisions at s=8 TeV (2015, background): “The sources of systematic uncertainties considered are: jet energy scale, which is estimated by shifting the four-vectors of the jets by an η- and pT-dependent factor [32]; PDFs, evaluated using the PDF4LHC prescription from the envelope of the CT10 [59], MSTW2008NLO [60], NNPDF2.”
- Observation of a new boson at a mass of 125 GeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC (2012, background): “In the central barrel region the energy resolution of electrons that do not radiate 3 substantially in the tracker material indicates that the resolution of unconverted photons is consistent with design goals.”
- The high energy neutrino cross-section in the Standard Model and its uncertainty (2011, methodology): “are fixed by the momentum and number sum rules respectively while some other parameters are fixed by model assumptions; the individual publications of the PDF groups should be consulted for details [ 41 ].”
