1. Introduction

Electroweakbosonproductioninproton–nucleusandnucleus– nucleuscollisionsattheCERNLHCoffersauniqueopportunityto probenuclearpartondistributionfunctions(nPDFs)[1–4].Leptonic decaysofelectroweakbosons are ofparticular interestsince lep-tonsdonot interactstronglywiththemediumproduced inthese collisions [5,6].As compared to thosein aproton, thenPDFs are expected to be depleted (shadowing) for partons carrying small momentumfractions x10−2,andenhanced (anti-shadowing)in the5×10−2_x10−1 _{range[7].However,becauseofthelackof} availabledata,partondensitiesarelesspreciselyknownfornuclei thanfornucleons.Asa consequence,precise calculations describ-inghardprocessesinhigh-energyheavyioncollisionsare limited byuncertaintiesinthenPDFs.ForWboson production,the dom-inant processes at LHC energies are ud→W+ and du→W−, principallyreflectinginteractions thattake placebetweenvalence quarksandseaantiquarks.AccordingtoRef.[4],PDFnuclear mod-ifications could affect theyield of W bosons inpPb collisions at theLHC by asmuch as15% in certain kinematic regions. There-fore,precise measurements ofW boson productionin heavy ion collisionsmightlead toan improveddeterminationofthenPDFs. Moreover, asymmetries in the individual yields of W+ and W− shouldpermit theflavour decompositionofuanddquark distri-butionsinnuclei.

The ATLAS [8,9] and CMS[10,11] Collaborations reported the observations of Z bosons in heavy ion interactions, at a

centre- _{E-mailaddress:cms-publication-committee-chair@cern.ch.}

of-massenergy of2.76 TeV per nucleonpair. Thesedata showed thattheZbosonyieldspernucleon–nucleon(NN)collisionare es-sentially unmodified by the medium produced in the collisions. Although W bosons decaying to a lepton and a neutrino are more difficultto detect, their rateis abouttentimes larger than that ofZbosons decayingto leptonicfinal states.The production of W bosons in PbPb collisions was reported by CMS [12] and ATLAS [13], usingdatacorresponding toan integratedluminosity of7.3 μb−1_{and150 μb}−1_{,collectedin2010and2011,respectively.} TheW bosonyield perNNcollisionwas showntobe compatible withtheonemeasuredinppcollisions,whentakingintoaccount isospineffectsarisingfromthemixtureofprotonsandneutronsin thecollidingnuclei.However,thepresenceof10–20%nPDFeffects on ZandW boson production could not be excluded dueto the relativelylargeexperimentalandtheoreticaluncertaintiesofthese results.

The 2013 pPb LHC run provides the best currently available data sample to look for initial-stateeffects (such asPDF modifi-cations) usingelectroweak bosons. The NN-equivalent luminosity isofthesameorderofmagnitudeasforthe2011PbPb run,and the production cross sections are approximately a factor of two greater owingtotheincreasedenergy,5.02 TeV pernucleon pair. Furthermore,theasymmetryofthepPbcollisionsystemallowsfor themeasurement ofotherobservablessuch asforward–backward pseudorapidityasymmetries.ThisLetter reportsa studyofW bo-son productioninasample ofpPbcollisions corresponding toan integrated luminosity of (34.6±1.2)nb−1 [14], collected by the CMSexperiment.

2. Experimentalmethods

Thedirectionoftheprotonbeamwas initiallyopposite tothe positive directionof the CMSlongitudinal axis [15], andwas re-versedafter60%ofthedataweretaken. Thebeamenergieswere 4 TeV for protons and 1.58 TeV per nucleon for lead nuclei, re-sulting in a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of √sNN= 5.02 TeV. As a result of the energy difference of the colliding beams, the NN centre-of-mass frame in pPb collisions was not at rest with respect to the laboratory frame. Massless particles emitted atpseudorapidity ηin the NNcentre-of-mass frame are detected at ηlab=η−0.465 (firstproton beam orientation) and

ηlab=η+0.465 (second proton beam orientation) in the CMS coordinate system, as defined inRef. [15]. The results presented hereafter are expressed in the usual convention of the proton-going side defining the positive pseudorapidity. It coincides with theCMSconvention inthesecondperiodofdata taking,thefirst onebeingreversedbeforesummingyieldsfromthetwobeam con-figurations.

Adetaileddescriptionof theCMSdetectorcan befound else-where [15]. Its central feature is a superconducting solenoid of 6 minternaldiameter,providingamagneticfieldof3.8 T.Within the field volume are the silicon pixel-and-strip tracker, a lead tungstate crystalelectromagnetic calorimeter(ECAL), and a brass and scintillator hadron calorimeter (HCAL), each composed of a barrel and two endcap sections. The silicon tracker consists of 66 Mpixeland10 Mstripsensorelements,andmeasures charged-particletrajectories inthepseudorapidity range |ηlab| <2.5. Out-sideofthesolenoid, muonsaredetected inthe|ηlab| <2.4 range, withgas-ionization detectorplanes based on three technologies: drift tubes,cathodestrip chambers, andresistive-plate chambers. Electrons are identified in the ECAL, which is made of 75 848 lead tungstatecrystals andcovers |ηlab| <1.48 in thebarrel and 1.48 <|ηlab| <3.00 inthetwoendcapregions.TheCMSapparatus alsohasextensiveforwardcalorimetry,includingtwo steel/quartz-fiberCherenkovhadronforward(HF)calorimeters,whichcoverthe 2.9 <|ηlab| <5.2 range. For online event selection, CMS uses a two-leveltriggersystem.

SelectioncriteriasimilartotheonesdevelopedinRef.[16]are appliedtothepPbsampletoremoveeventswithelectromagnetic, beam-gas,ormultiple collisions (pileup).The W bosonyields are correctedfortheinduced (4.0±0.5)% signalloss.

[12,19]. A specialelectroncharge determination,asdescribed inRef.[20], isusedinordertoreducetheelectronchargemisidentificationtoa sub-percentlevel.Eventsarereconstructedusingparticle-flow(PF) techniques[21,22],whichreconstructandclassifyindividual parti-cleswithanoptimised combinationofallsubdetectorinformation. Two criteriaare used to remove specific background sources. First,eventswithtwooppositelychargedleptons,withthesecond lepton pT greater than 15 (10) GeV/c for muons (electrons) are removed, since they correspond to well-identified processes like Drell–Yan,Zbosonorhigh-pT quarkoniumproduction.Second,the leptons are required to be isolated, in order to reduce the con-taminationcomingfromjet fragmentation. The energiesof allPF candidatesaresummed withina conecentredaroundthelepton, with the exception of the lepton itself. The lepton is considered isolated if the total transverse energyin the cone is small

com-pared to its transverse momentum. Formuons, a cone of radius

R=(η)2_{+ (φ)}2_{=0.3 is used,where η andφ are the} pseudorapidity andazimuthal distances tothe lepton.The candi-date is rejected if the in-cone transverse energy is greater than 10% ofthe muon pT.For electrons, a cone of R=0.4 is used, andonly particles with pT greater than 1 GeV/c aresummed, to reduce the underlying-event enhanced contribution. The electron candidate is rejectedifthe resulting transverseenergy is greater than 11.5% (9.5%) ofthe electron 4pT, forthe ECAL barrel (end-caps).

AnimportantcharacteristicofeventscontainingaW→ ν de-cay isthemissingtransverseenergy(/ET) associatedwiththe un-detectedneutrino.Itiscomputedasthemagnitudeofthevectorial sumoftransversemomentaofallthePFcandidatesintheevent. The analysis is performed using ten lepton pseudorapidity bins, each 0.5wideexceptforthemostforwardandbackwardregions (2 <|ηlab| <2.4).Afterhavingappliedtheleptonselectioncriteria, examples ofthe resulting/ET distributionsare showninFig. 1for

μ+ ande+, inthe mostcentral (−0.5 <ηlab<0.0) andfurthest forward(2.0 <ηlab<2.4) ranges.The distributionsforother bins andforthenegativeleptonsaresimilar.

Toextract thenumberofevents witha leptoncoming froma W boson,binned fitsofthesedistributionsareperformed, includ-ingthesignalandmainbackgroundcontributions,ineach ηlabbin. The/ET shapesassumedfortheelectroweakprocesses,namelythe W±→ ±ν signal as well as background from W±→τ±ν and Z→ +−,aredeterminedbythesimulationsdescribedhereafter, taking into account the acceptance and efficiency. Their relative normalizationisgivenbytheunmodifiedtheoreticalcrosssections (as computedin Ref. [23]). A maximal 20% variation of theW/Z normalizationratioistakenintoaccount,duetopotentially differ-entnuclearmodificationsoftheZandWbosons,andresultingina 1–3%systematicuncertaintyintheextractedWyields.The notice-abledifferencebetweenthe/ETdistributionsfortheZ→e+e−and Z→μ+μ−processesintheforwardregion(bottomplotsofFig. 1) results fromthegreater ECALcoverageallowing missed electrons with 2.4 <|ηlab| <3.0 to be accountedforinthe /ET calculation. The shape of the QCD multijet background is modelled by the functionalform f(/ET) = (/ET+/ET0)α exp(β



/

ET+/ET0).Itisshown to reproducethe/ET shape ofdataeventscontainingnon-isolated leptons, withthe /ET0, α, andβ parameters, which are observed to depend mildly andlinearly on the cone/lepton transverse en-ergy ratio. These fitted parameters are then extrapolated to the isolatedleptonsignalregimeandtheresultingfunctionisusedas the QCDbackgroundshape.The multijetbackgroundcontribution is largerintheelectron channel becausethemisidentified lepton rate ishigher, particularly dueto a contribution fromphoton-jet events.Contributionsfromothersources,suchastt productionand high-pTquarkonia,werefoundtobenegligible.

A small charge misidentification correction (less than 0.2%) is applied to the electron yields; this correction is negligible for muons. All fits are of good quality, as illustrated by the bottom panels of Fig. 1 that show the ratio of the data to the fit out-come. The observed numbers of leptons coming from W boson decaysovertheentirepseudorapidityrangeare:11660±111μ+, 9459±99μ−,9892±116 e+,and7872±101 e−,wherethe un-certaintyisstatistical,determinedbythefitprocedure.

Inordertocorrectforinefficienciesintheleptontrigger, recon-struction, and selection,the electroweak processesW→ ν have beensimulatedusingthe pythia 6.424generator[24] witha mix-tureofppandpninteractionscorrespondingtopPbcollisions.The detector response to each pythia signal event is simulated with Geant4 [25] and then embedded in a minimum bias pPb back-ground event. These background events are produced with the hijing eventgenerator [26] andpassed through Geant4 as well.

The embeddedeventis thenprocessedthrough thetrigger emulation andthefulleventreconstructionchain.Theresultingreconstructed events are then reweighted to match the distributions observed indata of the event vertexand activity (as measured in the HF calorimeters).Theobtainedefficienciesvarywith ηlab(withhigher efficienciesatmid-rapidity),from59%to89%formuons,andfrom 51%to84%forelectrons.

Thevariouscomponentsofthesingle-leptonefficiencyarealso directlycomputedfrompPbdata,usingZ→ samples,and tech-niquesdescribedinRef.[23].Theseefficienciesarethencompared to the corresponding efficiencies computed from simulations. In thecaseoftriggerandreconstruction efficiencies, theyare found to be consistent. The isolation criterion rejects more leptons in data,becausethelocal activityoftheunderlying eventis greater thaninthesimulation.Toaccountforsuchdiscrepancies,the effi-ciencyfromW→ νsimulationismultipliedbycorrectionfactors,

The so-called“tag-and-probe” methodused forthis estimationis de-scribedinRef.[27].Thesecorrectionfactorsarecomputedinbins of ηlabandforpositivelyandnegativelychargedmuonsseparately. Inthe electroncase, thelow statisticalprecisionmotivatesa cor-rectionfactorestimatedforelectronsandpositronscombined.

The total systematic uncertainty in the lepton yields is esti-mated by adding the different contributions in quadrature. The

ηlab-dependent sources of systematic uncertainty arise from the methodused forthe estimationof multijetbackground(0.1–2.0% formuons, 0.5–3.8%forelectrons),thenormalizationofthe elec-troweakbackground(1–3%formuonsandelectrons),theefficiency correctionfactors(2.2–7.5%formuons,2.6–7.4%forelectrons),and the energy scale of electrons (0.1–2.0%). The uncertainty in the momentum scale of muons is found to be negligible. The inte-gratedluminositymeasurementuncertainty(3.5%[14])affectsonly the W bosonproduction crosssections andcancelsin the asym-metry measurements, as does the additional global uncertainty arising from the efficiency of the filter rejecting pileup events

Though the common electron/positron correction factors cancel, a residual systematicuncertainty of 3% isassignedtothechargeasymmetry,basedonsimulationstudies and ηlab-integratedefficiencies determined fromZ→e+e− data.

Since the cross sections measured in the electron and muon channelsarefoundtobeingoodagreementwitheachother,they are combined using the BLUE method [28]. Fig. 3 compares the combinedcrosssectionswithnext-to-leading-order (NLO)

studyofvariousasymmetriesofthe +and − crosssections.The interest in such asymmetries is twofold. First, some of the ex-perimental(e.g. integrated luminosity) and theoretical (e.g. scale dependence)uncertaintiescancelinsuchasymmetries.Second,the various asymmetries exhibit different sensitivities to the nuclear modificationsofthePDFs,asdiscussedbelow.

Theleptonchargeasymmetry,definedas (N+_−N_−)/(N+_+N_−)

with N±_ being the efficiency-corrected lepton yields, is shown in Fig. 4, as a function of ηlab, and compared to the theoret-ical predictions. For ηlab>−1, both calculations reproduce the presentmeasurements. For ηlab<−1, however, the two calcula-tions overpredict the asymmetry values. A possible physical ori-gin of this disagreement could be a different modification of u andd quark distributions in nuclei. In proton–(anti)proton colli-sions, the W-boson charge asymmetry is known to be a sensi-tiveprobe ofthedown-to-up quark PDF ratioina proton,dp_/up [20,31,32]. Similarly, this asymmetry in pPb collisions measured in the lead fragmentation region (i.e. ηlab<0.465) probes these quark densities in a nucleon inside the lead nucleus. Assuming the standard isospin symmetry (up=dn, un=dp), one can de-fine a similar ratio, dp/A/up/A=dp/up ×Rd/Ru, where Ri are

the nPDF ratios, Ru ≡up/A/up and Rd ≡dp/A/dp. The typical quark momentum fraction probed in the Pb nucleus is given by xMW/√sNN×exp(−ηlab+0.465)(assumingthattheW boson rapidity issimilar to that of thelepton), thereforex0.02–0.20 in the range −2 <ηlab<0. In most global fit analyses of the nPDFs (as in the caseof EPS09), it is assumed that the nuclear ratiosrespect the isospin symmetry, namely Ru=Rd, essentially tominimise the numberof free parameters inthe fits. However, nophysical reasonpreventsnuclear modifications tobe different forup and down quark PDFs. Forexample, it is known that the

be flippedwithin the uncertainty. Adifferent asymmetry is pro-posedhere, N(+ηlab)/N(−ηlab),aforward–backwardasymmetry of the charge-summed W bosons, which achieves a similar sen-sitivity. As in the caseofthe charge asymmetry,thisasymmetry can be related to the nuclear modifications of the PDFs within the lead nucleus. Here, forward (backward) W boson production is sensitive to the PDFs of the sea quark at x∼10−3 _(valence quark at x∼10−1) in the lead nucleus. Therefore, the forward– backwardratioprobesthesmall-x modificationoftheleadnucleus PDF (shadowing)over thelarge-x modifications (anti-shadowing). Thisasymmetry isshowninFig. 6,anddeviatesfromunmodified PDFs,moreclearlyfavouringCT10+EPS09overCT10.

4. Summary

The first measurement of W boson production in pPb colli-sionshasbeenreported,usingtheelectronandmuondecaymodes forleptons of pT above 25 GeV/c and |ηlab| <2.4. The differen-tialcrosssectionsasafunctionoftheleptonpseudorapidityagree withtheoreticalpredictionsassumingbothunmodified(CT10)and modified (CT10+EPS09) nPDFs, exceptin the most backward re-gion(Pbionbeamdirection),whereahintofan enhancementis seen for the W− bosons. In the same region, the related lepton charge asymmetry deviates slightly from the predictions, some-thing that could potentially arise from different nuclear modifi-cationsoftheup anddownquark PDFs.Ina relatedobservation, forward–backwardasymmetriesshowadeviationfromunmodified PDFs.Takentogether,thesemeasurements show the needfor in-cludingWbosondatainnuclearpartondistributionglobalfits.
