  "abstract": "We investigate the determination of non-perturbative QCD contributions, associated with proton's transverse structure, from high-precision experimental data for electroweak boson production at the LHC. We demonstrate that these determinations are strongly affected by correlated uncertainties across transverse-momentum bins in the region of low boson's transverse momenta. We illustrate our results through a detailed analysis of LHCb measurements of $Z$-boson spectra at forward rapidities, and a comparison with CMS measurements at central rapidities. We further examine the influence on the extraction of the non-perturbative parameters from final-state electromagnetic radiation, photon-induced background, large-$x$ contributions to parton distributions in the forward region, matching to perturbative next-to-leading order. We comment on the comparison of our results with those from the underlying-event tuning of parton-shower Monte Carlo event generators.",
