Abstract content <br> &nbsp; (Max 300 words)

Analysis of Monte Carlo generated data using PYTHIA 6.4.21 with an emphasis on
different Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) and center of mass energies with protons as
colliding systems. This study investigates the effect of PDFs and center of mass energy in the production of W^{+-} bosons at forward rapidity.
