Z boson production via p-p and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{pp}}$=5.02 TeV

Abstract

We estimate the production of $Z^a$ bosons via p-p collisions using previous work on $J/\Psi$, $\Psi (2S)$ production in p-p collisions, with the new aspect being the creation of $Z^a$ bosons via quark interactions, with $a$ the component of a $Z$ vector boson. We then estimate the production of $Z^a$ bosons via Pb-Pb collisions using modification factors from previous publications.
