Abstract

We present progress towards a unified framework enabling the simultaneous determination of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton, deuteron, and nuclei up to lead (208\rmPb). Our approach is based on the integration of the fitting framework underlying the nNNPDF3.0 determination of nuclear PDFs into that adopted for the NNPDF4.0 global analysis of proton PDFs. Our work paves the way toward a full integrated global analysis of non-perturbative QCD -- a key ingredient for the exploitation of the scientific potential of present and future nuclear and particle physics facilities such as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
