Study of W boson production in PbPb and pp collisions at √s[subscript NN] = 2.76 TeV

A measurement is presented of W-boson production in PbPb collisions carried out at a nucleon–nucleon (NN) centre-of-mass energy √s[subscript NN] = 2.76 TeV at the LHC using the CMS detector. In data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.3 μb[superscript −1], the number of W→μ[subscript νμ]...
