Abstract

We study the impact of the inclusion of Neutral Current (NC) DY data from LHC mapped in the Forward-Backward Asymmetry (A_{\rm FB}) observable on PDF uncertainties, using the open source platform xFitter. We find that A_{\rm FB} enables new PDF sensitivity at current and future luminosity stages of LHC.
