Abstract

We summarise recent developments in the path towards the "MMHT19" parton distribution functions. We concentrate on the extraction of the strange quark upon the improvement of theoretical calculations for NNLO charged current cross sections; the effect of an extension of our parameterisation; and the role of correlated uncertainties in some data sets which prove difficult to fit.
