Description

The LHC has recently precise measurements of the transverse momentum
of the $Z$ boson that provide a unique constraint on the structure of the
proton. Recent theoretical developments have allowed the calculation of these
process at next-to-next-to-leading order. In this talk theoretical fixed-order
predictions for this data are presented and their impact on the determination
of PDFs is described.
