Proton-PDF uncertainties in extracting nuclear PDFs from $$W^\pm $$ W ± production in p+Pb collisions
Abstract We discuss the recent CMS Collaboration measurement of $$W^\pm $$ W ± boson production in p+Pb collisions at 8.16 TeV in terms of the constraining power on nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs). The impact of the free-proton PDF uncertainties on the nuclear PDF extraction is quantifi...
