abstract
The differential cross section and charge asymmetry for inclusive pp to W + X to mu + neutrino + X production at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV are measured as a function of muon pseudorapidity. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.8 inverse femtobarns recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. These results provide important constraints on the parton distribution functions of the proton in the range of the Bjorken scaling variable x from 10E-3 to 10E-1.

Global fit finds u and d PDFs stable to x≈0.8 with positive isospin-independent higher-twist corrections and nonzero off-shell nucleon contributions required to describe nuclear data.
Muon charge asymmetry from W decays is measured with highest precision in the forward region at 13 TeV and agrees with NNLO pQCD.
