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.	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.	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.
