Parton distributions and new physics searches: the Drell–Yan forward–backward asymmetry as a case study

Abstract We discuss the sensitivity of theoretical predictions of observables used in searches for new physics to parton distributions (PDFs) at large momentum fraction x. Specifically, we consider the neutral-current Drell–Yan production of gauge bosons with invariant masses in the TeV range, for w...
