Measurement of electroweak-boson production in Pb--Pb and p--Pb collisions at the LHC with ALICE

Measurements of electroweak-bosons in heavy-ion collisions with ALICE are reported. They are measured at large rapidities, via their (di)muonic decay: Z $\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ and W$^\pm \rightarrow \mu^\pm \nu$. The Z production and nuclear modification factor in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_...

Sumario:Measurements of electroweak-bosons in heavy-ion collisions with ALICE are reported. They are measured at large rapidities, via their (di)muonic decay: Z $\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ and W$^\pm \rightarrow \mu^\pm \nu$. The Z production and nuclear modification factor in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV are presented and compared to theoretical predictions with or without nuclear modifications of the Parton Distribution Functions. Measurements of electroweak-boson production in p--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}$ = 5.02 and 8.16 TeV are also presented and discussed.
