Samenvatting	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.	Renormalization Group Equations (RGEs) describe how the coupling constants and masses of a quantum field theory evolve with energy scale. They are fundamental tools for understanding the scale dependence of physics, predicting the behavior of coupling strengths at different energies, and connecting high-energy physics to low-energy precision measurements.
