Parton Distribution Function sensitivity studies using electroweak processes at LHCb

We describe parton density function sensitivity studies, using muon final states produced through the Drell-Yan process via W, Z or $\gamma^*$ down to a Q^2 of 10 GeV^2. This makes use of LHCb's unique ability to trigger on low transverse momentum objects. Due to the forward acceptance of LHCb,...

description We describe parton density function sensitivity studies, using muon final states produced through the Drell-Yan process via W, Z or $\gamma^*$ down to a Q^2 of 10 GeV^2. This makes use of LHCb's unique ability to trigger on low transverse momentum objects. Due to the forward acceptance of LHCb, x values down to 2 10^{-6} can be probed, where with just 100 pb-1 of data, the gluon PDF can improved up to 70%.
