Diffractive and inclusive W boson production asymmetry at the LHC

We analyse diffractive electroweak vector boson production at the LHC and show that the single diffractive W boson production asymmetry in rapidity is a particularly good observable to test the concept of the flavour symmetric pomeron parton distributions.It may also provide an additional constraint for parton distribution functions in the proton.
