Recent results improve the accuracy of parton distribution functions.
LHCb measurements influence theoretical models of proton structure.
Abstract
Data collected by the LHCb experiment allow proton structure functions to be probed in a kinematic region beyond the reach of other experiments, both at the LHC and further afield. In these proceedings the significant impact of LHCb Run 1 measurements on PDF fits is recalled and recent LHCb results, that are sensitive to PDFs, are described.
