Z production in pPb collisions at LHCb

Abstract

This article presents results of the Z boson production in the proton-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV and $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=8.16$ TeV collected in 2013 and 2016, respectively, by the LHCb detector at the LHC in forward and backward rapidity. The great precision of the 2016 data are found compatible with nPDFs theoretical predictions within large theoretical uncertainties, and can be useful to constraint new predictions.
