We describe parton density function sensitivity studies, using muon final states produced through the Drell-Yan process via W, Z or γ^* down to a Q2 of 10 GeV2. This makes use of LHCb's unique ability to trigger on low transverse momentum objects. Due to the forward acceptance of LHCb, x values down to 2 10-6 can be probed, where with just 100 pb-1 of data, the gluon PDF can improved up to 70%.
