Forward-Backward Drell-Yan Asymmetry and PDF Determination

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-07-22 v1

Abstract

We investigate the impact of high-statistics Drell-Yan (DY) measurements at the LHC on the study of non-perturbative QCD effects from parton distribution functions (PDF). We present the results of a PDF profiling analysis based on the neutral-current DY forward-backward asymmetry, using the open source fit platform xFitter.
