Abstract

It is shown that the samples of Z0+jet events, collected at the LHC with the integrated luminosity L_int=20 fb^-1, may have enough statistics for determining the gluon distribution inside a proton in the region of 2*10^-4 < x < 1.0 at Q² values in the interval of 0.9*10³ < Q² < 4*10⁴ ~(GeV/c)². A possibility of the background events suppression by use of the Z⁰+jet events selection criteria is also demonstrated.
