Uncertainties in the unintegrated gluon distribution

Project description:

To investigate the uncertainties in the kT-unintegrated gluon distributions. Make comparisons between different parameterizations eg. Jung, LDC and KMR to see where they differ and estimate the consequences of these differences for LHC. Also suggest observables at HERA and the Tevatron which can further constrain the unintegrated parton densitites.
