Resumen	Parton Distribution Function (PDF) fitting is the process of determining the probability distributions of quarks and gluons inside hadrons using high-energy collision data. PDFs are fundamental inputs to all hadron collider phenomenology, essential for predicting cross-sections, designing triggers, and interpreting new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider.	The Matrix Element Method (MEM) is a powerful analysis technique that leverages quantum field theory amplitudes to extract maximum physics information from individual events. By comparing observed detector signatures to predictions from matrix elements, MEM provides unbiased, model-independent measurements with excellent theoretical precision and sensitivity to new physics.	VEGAS is an adaptive Monte Carlo algorithm for numerical integration of multidimensional functions, particularly useful for high-dimensional integrals common in particle physics calculations. By adaptively refining the sampling distribution to concentrate points in high-contribution regions, VEGAS dramatically improves integration efficiency compared to naive Monte Carlo.
