Abstract
The method of closure testing for analysing the effectiveness of a PDF fitting procedure is discussed. In order to pass a closure test, a fitting methodology must be able to reproduce a known generating function in a fit to an ideal pseudo-dataset generated by that PDF up to the level of experimental uncertainty in the data. Here we present an initial study of the closure property of the NNPDF fitting methodology. An idealised pseudo-dataset is generated by a set of toy PDFs that differ substantially from previous NNPDF determinations. In a fit to this pseudodata, the NNPDF methodology is shown to be able to reproduce well the toy PDFs used as a generating function.
