Study of W boson production in PbPb and pp collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV

Abstract:

A measurement is presented of W-boson production in PbPb collisions carried out at a nucleon-nucleon (NN) centre-of-mass energy sNN of 2.76 TeV at the LHC using the CMS detector. In data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.3 μb -1, the number of W→μν μ decays is extracted in the region of muon pseudorapidity |η μ|<2.1 and transverse momentum pTμ>25 GeV/c. Yields of muons found per unit of pseudorapidity correspond to (159±10(stat.)±12(syst.))×10 -8 W + and (154±10(stat.)±12(s...
