Strange Quark PDF Uncertainty and its Implications for W/Z Production at the LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-03-04 v2

Abstract

We investigate the impact of parton distribution functions (PDFs) uncertainties on W/Z production at the LHC, concentrating on the strange quark PDF. Additionally we examine the extent to which precise measurements at the LHC can provide additional information on the proton flavor structure.
