Vector boson production in pPb and PbPb collisions at the LHC and its impact on nCTEQ15 PDFs

Vector boson production in pPb and PbPb collisions at the LHC and its impact on nCTEQ15 PDFs

Abstract We provide a comprehensive comparison of $$W^\pm / Z$$ W ± / Z vector boson production data in pPb and PbPb collisions at the LHC with predictions obtained using the nCTEQ15 PDFs. We identify the measurements which have the largest potential impact on the PDFs, and estimate the effect of in...
