| Popis: | Jet production at hadron colliders provides constraints on the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton, in particular on the gluon distribution. In the present paper, the impact on PDF of CMS inclusive differential jet cross sections at center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt s = 8$ TeV for jets with low momentum $p\mathrm{_T}$ and produced in the forward direction is investigated at next-to leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The results of the QCD global analysis are compared with theoretical predictions. The impact of low-$p\mathrm{_T}$ jet measurements on the determination of the gluon distribution is assessed. The inclusion of the discussed measurements adds further constraints on the uncertainty of the gluon distribution at large Bjorken $x > 0.1$, where the low-$p_T$ data have the largest impact.
