Measurement of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive pp -> W plus X production at root s=7 TeV and an improved determination of light parton distribution functions

Measurements of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive pp→W+X production at s=7TeV are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7fb-1 recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. With a sample of more than 20 million W→μν events, the statistical precision is greatly impr...
