Description

We study the influence of theoretical systematic uncertainties due to the quark density on LHC experimental searches for Z'-bosons.
Using an approach originally proposed in the context of the ABMP16 PDF set for the high-x behaviour of the quark density, we presents results on differential cross section and Forward-Backward asymmetry observables commonly used to study Z' signals in dilepton channels.
