Description

Gluon parton distribution functions (PDF) in protons and nuclei are known
to be difficult to determine with fits of deep inelastic scattering (DIS)
and Drell-Yan (DY) data alone. The nCTEQ15 analysis of nuclear PDFs
therefore resorted also to inclusive neutral pion production data from
RHIC. In this talk, we present a new global analysis of nuclear PDFs based
on a much larger set of single inclusive light hadron data from RHIC
and the LHC and study systematically the impact of the choice of the
fragmentation function.
