Description
Measurements of forward heavy quark production simultaneously provides sensitivity to relatively large- and small-$x$ PDFs. I will discuss how measurements of prompt charm production (with carefully selected observables) can be used to constrain the gluon PDF for values of $x < 10^{-5}$ --- a kinematic region which is not well constrained by pre-LHC data.
