Hessian PDF reweighting, or “profiling”, has
become a widely used way to study the impact of a new
data set on parton distribution functions (PDFs) with Hessian
error sets. The available implementations of this method have
resorted to a perfectly quadratic approximation of the initial
χ2 function before inclusion of the new data. We demonstrate how one can take into account the first non-quadratic
components of the original fit in the reweighting, provided
that the necessary information is available. We then apply
this method to the CMS measurement of dijet pseudorapidity spectra in proton–proton (pp) and proton–lead (pPb) collisions at 5.02 TeV. The measured pp dijet spectra disagree
with next-to-leading order (NLO) theory calculations using
the CT14 NLO PDFs, but upon reweighting the CT14 PDFs,
these can be brought to a much better agreement. We show
that the needed proton-PDF modifications also have a significant impact on the predictions for the pPb dijet distributions. Taking the ratio of the individual spectra, the protonPDF uncertainties effectively cancel, giving a clean probe
of the PDF nuclear modifications. We show that these data
can be used to further constrain the EPPS16 nuclear PDFs
and strongly support gluon nuclear shadowing at small x and
antishadowing at around x ≈ 0.1.
