  "abstract": "We study the global analysis for parton distributions as a function of the QCD strong coupling strength alpha_s, and present a new series of distributions that span the range 0.110 < alpha_s(m_Z) < 0.128. We use these distributions to explore the correlation between alpha_s and the gluon distribution; the viability of global analysis as a method to measure alpha_s; and the dependence on alpha_s of predictions for W, Z, inclusive jet, and Higgs boson production ($b \\bar{b} \\to H$ and $gg \\to H$) cross sections at the Tevatron and the LHC. We find that the uncertainty in alpha_s is the dominant source of uncertainty for inclusive jet production at moderately small p_T and for Higgs production at intermediate masses in the standard model.",
