Abstract
Electroweak–boson production processes (W, Z and photon) provide access to the earliest moments of heavy–ion collisions. Furthermore, because they do not undergo strong interactions, they are sensitive to the initial–state geometry of the collision and potentially the details of the nuclear parton distribution functions. ATLAS results on vector–boson yields have demonstrated binary collision scaling in Pb+Pb collisions. In p + Pb collisions, the measurement of vector bosons provides possible constraints on the nuclear parton distribution functions and insights into the details of the initial collision geometry. We report on the latest results of vector–boson production in p + Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV. Production yields of Z and W bosons and lepton charge asymmetry of W bosons are presented as a function of pseudo-rapidity and centrality. The vector–boson yields are compared to calculations incorporating different parton distribution functions, as well as different centrality calculations. © other The Author(s)
