Abstract
We present a measurement of the muon charge asymmetry from boson decays using of data collected at between 2002 and 2004 with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We compare our findings with expectations from next-to-leading-order calculations performed using the CTEQ6.1M and MRST04 NLO parton distribution functions. Our findings can be used to constrain future parton distribution function fits.
