Abstract

The LHCb experiment covers a unique region of acceptance at forward rapidities in the high energy proton-proton collisions of the LHC. This means that measurements of particle production in LHCb are directly sensitive to the parton distribution functions at low Bj\"orken-xx values. Several measurements of inclusive WW and Z/γZ/\gamma^{\ast} production with the Run-I dataset are reported in these proceedings. Further measurements of WW and Z/γZ/\gamma^{\ast} production in association with inclusive jets and bb- and cc-tagged jets are also reported.
