Description
We report on measurements of W and Z boson production, using muon final state
topologies, with the LHCb experiment and using data taken at centre of mass energy of 7 TeV. Measurements of the inclusive W and Z production cross-sections, Z (W)
differential cross-sections as a function of boson rapidity (muon pseudorapidity), their
ratios, and the W charge asymmetry are presented and compared to theoretical
predictions. We discuss the potential sensitivity such measurements display to the
underlying parton density functions.
