We observe that, unlike the case of Run-I of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC Run-I), for the first time at the LHC Run-II the reconstructed forward–backward asymmetry has the capability of placing useful constraints on the determination of the parton distribution functions (PDFs).

The perturbative expansion of the production cross section is well behaved and that scale dependence is reduced relative to the NLO result, which gives confidence in the reliability of the prediction.
