What is NLO vs LO PDFs in LHC Physics about?

This document discusses the use of leading order (LO) parton distribution functions (PDFs) versus next-to-leading order (NLO) PDFs in Monte Carlo event generators. While NLO PDFs are better defined and have smaller uncertainties than LO PDFs, some processes are still modeled using LO generators like Pythia. The document notes that using NLO PDFs with LO generators can sometimes but not always improve predictions, and discusses ways to separate the PDF and matrix element calculations in generators to allow u
