Descripción
Measurements of vector boson production in Pb+Pb collisions provide
essential control data for studies of jets and jet quenching in the
quark gluon plasma. Because the electroweak bosons do not interact
strongly in the plasma measurements their production rates can be
predicted using standard high-energy event generators. In addition,
the vector boson spectra are potentially sensitive to nuclear parton
distribution functions. Results will be presented for measurements
of photon, Z, and W+/- production in Pb+Pb and proton-Pb collisions.
The measurements will be compared to predicted rates from JETPHOX (for
photons) and POWHEG (for Z and W).
