Abstract

The differential cross section and charge asymmetry for inclusive pp → W^± + X → μ^±ν + X production at √s = 8 TeV are measured as a function of muon pseudorapidity. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.8fb^-1 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 10^-3 to 10^-1.
