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 Björken-x values. Several measurements of inclusive W and Z/γ^∗ production with the Run-I dataset are reported in these proceedings. Further measurements of W and Z/γ^∗ production in association with inclusive jets and b- and c-tagged jets are also reported.
