Abstract
This paper investigates the crucial role of parton distribution functions (PDFs) in high-energy physics, particularly their impact on the extraction of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) at zero skewness. To this aim, we perform six global analyses of GPDs using different modern PDF sets (\texttt{NNPDF40}, \texttt{CT18}, and \texttt{MSHT20}) at three specific factorization scales (, , and GeV) and different perturbative orders. A wide range of elastic electron scattering data is included in the analysis to constrain GPDs in a broad interval in the momentum transfer squared . The analyses reveal that the best overall description of experimental data is achieved using \texttt{NNPDF40} PDFs at the next-to-leading order (NLO), with moderate sensitivity to the choice of PDF input, especially in the region of low . The dependence on the perturbative…
